Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] New WiMAX R6 plug-in

["Martin Mathieson" <martin.r.mathieson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for posting this Nivin,

I'm building it now and will try to test later on today, but here are
a few quick comments:

(1) I renamed the folder (on my machine) to be plugins/wimax-r6r4, so
as not to clash with the exisint air interface protocols plugin.  Does
that seem OK to you?

(2) you do lots of switches to convert between numbers and their
meanings as strings.
- please use value_string arrays and val_to_str() to look these up instead
- it would be nice to #define symbols for these

(3) it would also be nice to see #defines, or at least comments for
the tag values used in get_tag_type()

(4) how complete is this plugin?  Do you have a TODO list?

Best regards,
Martin
