This touches on a general problem with our collection of sample
captures: the number of protocols that Ethereal supports greatly exceeds
the number represented on the sample capture page. (If any classroom
instructors are reading this, generating sample captures for specific
protocols would be an excellent lab exercise.)
Would any of the pending road map tasks
(http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development/Roadmap) be good candidates for
SoC projects?
