Comment # 4 on bug 13118 from 
Both of these pcap files have a TLV of SR protocol. It is expected that the
TLVs are not dissected.

I came across this bug while writing a dissector for this protocol. 

The Link local scope flooding shows that the output correctly. 

The area scope flooding shows that the LSA is unknown. But the tshark output
shows that this is recognized as the opaque lsa by the filter (output pruned)

The line "ospf.v3.lsa.opaque": "1" says that this is recognized as the opaque
lsa. Although the dissection is not done for the opaque type.
