Title: SCTP PPID for M3UA.

Hi,

We use SS7 equipment from two vendors, one of which does not use the standard SCTP PPID of 3, for their M3UA packets. Instead they use 0.

I had a look at sctpppids.h and see


#define NOT_SPECIFIED_PROTOCOL_ID  0
#define IUA_PAYLOAD_PROTOCOL_ID    1
#define M2UA_PAYLOAD_PROTOCOL_ID   2
#define M3UA_PAYLOAD_PROTOCOL_ID   3
#define SUA_PAYLOAD_PROTOCOL_ID    4

Is there any way to cause Ethereal to interpret a PPID of 0 or 3 as M3UA, so I can decode both my vendors M3UA correctly?.

I also had a look to try and change the code myself, but it's been toooooo long since I've coded and could not figure it out.

Thanks,
Paul
