Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] FW: ANSI MAP / TCAP dissector hooks

["Michael Lum" <Michael.Lum@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you're right.

I had it implemented that way originally.

I had a preference for TCAP to be either ITU or ANSI.

I believe GSM MAP has to be carried on ITU TCAP and ANSI MAP on ANSI TCAP
but maybe there were issues with other protocols on top of TCAP that caused
problems. 

I don't know the history behind the removal of the preference.

Hi,
There is a problem when ssn's overlap. I originally had ANSI MAP and GSM MAP
overlapping but still got it decoded as ANSI MAP, changing the GSM MAP
preference got it to not decode then changing the ANSI MAP Preference again
got proper decoding.

Perhaps the whole preference setting should be done in TCAP instead?

There may be a couple of problems here.

The capture file contains ANSI MAP not GSM MAP.

Hmm, when I load that capture file the SCCP portion says:

SSN: 6
[Linked to TCAP, TCAP ssn linked to GSM_MAP]

which looks OK.

However, the bottom of the TCAP protocol tree says says "BER Error: 
Wrong field in sequence [...]".

I suppose that's preventing the TCAP dissector from calling the GSM_MAP
dissector.

[If so should such BER errors fail an assertion or something so the packet
shows up as malformed/dissector bug/whatever??]
