I think that's an excellent answer. It's just not the one on the table at the moment, and there's no clear indication that we'll ever get there. The people who would presumably do that work haven't committed any resources to it. > If funding to update Wireshark with snoop functionality never shows up, > oh well. And what of current and future projects that require decode support? "Oh, well" to them, too? At one point, I was almost convinced that we had some rough consensus that building a system was a shared goal. I'm no longer so sure, as projects like this look much more like "mere accumulation" than any sort of intentionally planned effort. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
