Hi, Thanks for your fast reply. This header is for support of TI boards as sniffer adapter (LAUNCHXL boards) for low power wireless protocols like BLE, 802.15.4 or TI proprietary protocols. The sniffer adapters are connected to a COM port, and a host program sends data to Wireshark. We would like to insert this new header at lowest layer to display meta information about each packet. The dissector for this new header will call next dissector based on protocol field (for example btle or wpan), or display the data in raw format.
The packet info header will contain the following information: - Interface type and Interface ID (For example COM 142). - Frequency - Channel - Protocol and PHY - RSSI value - Frame check status (CRC Status) Thanks, Bjørn Selvig Texas Instruments Norway AS, Postboks 264 Skøyen, Hoffsveien 70 C, NO-0213 Oslo, Norway.

Can take as little as a day; but please tell us more about what you are doing so that we are sure that you aren't duplicating other existing/underway work. Meanwhile, there are some private use DLT values that you can use while coding. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] m...@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
