Between August and October of 2006, I submitted three patches for
packet-ppp.c. These corrected problems I had encountered in researching
a problem for my employer. This problem involved RFC 2508 protocol
between two routers.
In resolving this problem, I developed a partial RFC 2508 dissector
which I added to packet-ppp.c. The code is attached.
I say partial because I am unsure that I dissected all the packets
described in the RFC. I had a single capture file and restricted myself
to packets for which I had examples. The dissector works for 0x61,
0x67, 0x2065 and 0x2067 packets. The capture I had only included IPv4
and UDP so the dissector does not consider IPv6 or TCP although RFC 2508
may cover these protocols also.
Since the work I did resulted in the resolution of the problem, I will
receive no further captures and be given no more time to complete the
dissector.
Thus, I submit it to the list in its current state. I cannot even
provide the capture from which I worked as test data. I am willing to
do further development if someone can provide further examples of
packets from this protocol.
