Not if you only look at the MTP3 information. The main difference is
the length of fields. You could try to dissect the whole stack and
if it works, it might be OK. But we have not the complete SS7 stack
in ethereal...

On the other hand, you know which standard you run on a link. It has
to be configured. And you can not mix them on a link.

is it possible to implement heuristics that will autodetect which

The only crucial preference for MTP-3 is the standard it complies to.
ITU/ANSI/Chinese. I would not call that stupid...

So which preferences do you think are stupid and should be removed?

i tried that capture. no matter what i do i cant get it to display anything above the SCCP layer. in particular, nothing i tried can get

Setting TCAP's SSN preference to "5-12,200" gets you at least as
far as TCAP (this capture appears to be on an odd pair of SSNs: 152
and 200).

You might also have to set the Camel preference to include SSN 200
(I say "might" because I appear to have compile problems at the
moment so I can't check myself).



why are there so many stupid preferences for MTP3 and friends?
Is it really impossible to get the dissector to figure out itself,
heusristically, which encoding is used?



Impossible?  No.  I'd love for that to happen.  But I certainly
don't have time.  :-(  I suppose others have the same problem.

Can you update the patch to use value_strings such as the
other value strings in packet-camel-templace.c and i will check
it in.

Also, when using these value_strings  use a proper
proto_tree_add_item() to add them instead of the
proto_tree_add_text().

This makes the dissector much better and makes filtering work.


If not, please send me an example capture file and i can
refactor the patch as described above.



I haven't looked at the changes, but there is a Camel capture on the
wiki:
http://wiki.ethereal.com/SampleCaptures?
action=AttachFile&do=get&target=
camel.pcap

It contains a releasecall operation.
