Guy,

Just tested this and it works fine (much nicer than the "hack").
Patch to update sip to drop the registering and adding the heur_dissector_add
attached.

Thanks,
    Ruud

Good point, currently we are using a hack in packet-sctp which checks
for PPI=0  (=NOT_SPECIFIED_PROTOCOL_ID) and just calls the sip decoder.
The src/dst port is both 1 which is also not very distinctive so that
would leave a heuristic approach.


I've just checked in a change to give the SCTP dissector a heuristic subdissector list (named, in an extraordinary burst of creativity, "sctp"), so adding

    heur_dissector_add( "sctp", dissect_sip_heur, proto_sip );

to "proto_reg_handoff_sip()" should register it as a heuristic subdissector of SCTP.

Try that, with the current CVS version of packet-sctp.c (without the hack checking for PPI=0), and see if that works. If it does, we should remove the registering of the SIP dissector, and replace it with the version that adds it as a heuristic subdissector of SCTP.
