Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 9586] Peekremote dissector needs to handle "new" header as
Comment # 25
on bug 9586
from Emburey
Thanks for the dev build. I could able to run it and observed the new
dissections. They are clear now.
Still I have the following queries on the new design:
1)
Now the 'TSF Timestamp' is representing the entire 64-bit get time as a whole.
I can understand that the new dissection is fetching it as an 8-byte field in
microseconds. But we actually process that field: first for a 32-bit
representation of 'seconds' and next 32-bit representation of 'microseconds'.
Moreover this time is basically the time duration, when the AP receives that
frame since the AP is up. So it would remain same in some of the consecutive
frames.
Please let me know, if we could further dissect it as 32-bit each, seconds and
microseconds. Or if that would contradict any.
2)
We would require for the fields 'Flags' and 'Status' an 8-bit binary
representation and for field 'FlagsN' a 32-bit binary representation. This
would be helpful in understanding the states each bit represent.
I could observe that these field are now displaying the hex values directly.
Can you please let me know the purpose of it, and can we have it changed to the
suggested 8bit binary (Flags & Status) and 32bit binary (FlagsN)
representations.
