Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] SCPS dissector.

[Cosmin Craciunescu <ccraciunescu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

I've written a SCPS-TP dissector for the compressed segment format.  I'd
like to commit this someday, but first I need to clean up the code, and
fix a few problems.

One problem is in order to dissect IP protocol 0x69 (SCPS) I need to
have access to information from the TCP packet with the SYN flag for
this connection (it's a convoluted protocol).

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to tap packets.  Even if I do
manage to tap the packet, I need the SCPS connection id, which is inside
a TCP option, and therefore not available in tap_data, unless packet-tcp
is also modified.

The short story is, does someone more experienced with wireshark than me
want to work with me?  I'd do most of the work, but I need help with
some of the finer details.

Thanks a bunch,

Cosmin Craciunescu
