hi--

i am using ethereal 10.5 and have a question on the decode of the following
4 packets.  (these are a t.38 trace from udp port 17126 to port 56210.)  the
first packet decodes correctly, and is the 2nd to last piece of an ecm
frame.  the 2nd packet has a decode error, which it should. i believe the
ifp length is wrong. it is reported as 10, but there seems to be a byte
missing from the ifp indicating the recovery packet type. my question is on
the 3rd and 4th packets.  they do not have a decode error in ethereal, even
though they contain as recovery/ secondary packets the same ifp which is
(correctly, i believe) flagged as malformed.

what do you guys think?  is there an ethereal decoder bug? or am i missing
somthing in the 'a' length ifp?

thanks,
--roger

ps, ive never quite figured out how the hi-lighting works, and i liked the
decode descriptions better in 10.4, which behaves the same way on these 4
packets
