I wanted to make the following changes to the MTP3 dissector:
1. Add two hidden uint32 fields for 24bit OPC/DPC
This allows display filtering using the complete 24 bit integer value
as an alternative to something like "mtp3.ansi_opc == 214-170-26".
i.e. "mtp3.24bit_opc == 0x66aad6" or "mtp3.24bit_opc == 6728406"
2. Modify OPC/DPC subtree label for ANSI/Chinese ITU to show the decimal
value in addition to the current display of (x-y-z).
i.e. DPC (214-140-5) 363734
3. Modify OPC/DPC label to show 3-8-3 in addition to the decimal 14 bit
value
i.e. .... .... .... .... ..00 0111 1010 0000 = DPC: (0-244-0) 1952
Now for the AT_SS7PC formats:
OK we have a few suggestions:
Format TYPE decimal (for ITU/ANSI/Chinese ITU):
decimal
Format TYPE NI-decimal (for ITU/ANSI/Chinese ITU):
NI-decimal
Format TYPE "formatted":
8-8-8 (ANSI/Chinese ITU)
3-8-3 (ITU)
What is the best way to allow a preference to specify an address format ?
