From Stephen Donnelly of Endace:
The code for reading ERF files has not been significantly
updated since 2004. This patch brings it up to date with a
number of changes.
1) Increase number of decodable ERF types from 7 to 12. This
covers newer DAG card models and firmware updates.
2) Fix timestamp conversion. Was calculating only microsecond
precision, now displaying with nanosecond resolution. Hardware
precision is 7.5 to 30 ns depending on model.
3) Allow the user to specify HDLC encapsulation as 'chdlc',
'ppp_serial', 'frelay' or 'mtp2'. This is needed because the
ERF HDLC capture formats do not include information on what
protocol is used at the next level. This is currently done via
an environment variable 'ERF_HDLC_ENCAP' and is analagous to the
existing 'ERF_ATM_ENCAP' variable.
If the user does not specify an HDLC encapsulation it tries to
guess, and falls back to MTP2 for backwards compatibility with
Florent's existing behaviour.
I know environment variables are ugly, suggestions are welcome.
4) When reading HDLC captures as MTP2, use
WTAP_ENCAP_MTP2_WITH_PHDR rather than WTAP_ENCAP_MTP2. This
allows us to put the 'Multi-Channel ERF' record 'channel
number' field into the MTP2 pseudo header > 'link_number'
field. This is then displayed in Frame information, and can
be filtered on. (Would be nice if it could be made a display
column?)
Because the ERF record does not specify whether Annex A is used
or not, we pass MTP2_ANNEX_A_USED_UNKNOWN and allow the existing
user preference to decide.
Move the MTP2_ANNEX_A_ definitions into Wiretap, make the annex_a_used
field a guint8, and change MTP2_ANNEX_A_USED_UNKNOWN to 2 so it fits in
a guint8. (This means that if you can save an ERF MTP2 file as a
libpcap file, the pseudo-header will have MTP2_ANNEX_A_USED_UNKNOWN in
it.)
