Ämne: [Ethereal-dev] [patch] add LLS support to OSPF dissector

Hi,

This patch adds support for draft-nguyen-ospf-lls-05.txt,
draft-nguyen-ospf-oob-resync-05.txt and
draft-nguyen-ospf-restart-05.txt. These are an alternative way to do
OSPF graceful restart.

These drafts are implemented by cisco and several other vendors that
want to interoperate with cisco. My patch adds a dissectors for LLS TLVs.

I had to modify the existing ospf dissector as it assumed that all the
data after IP header is OSPF packet. This is not true anymore and
probably was not true before as well.

Also please find attached an example of OSPF packets with LLS data blocks.
