This is what we hope to do, we will use the filter driver, of

famous pcap-xxx.c file), similar to one which we are doing
to integrate our hw, and integrate it with pcap-win32.
Since this sniffer is also opensource, hope its ok.
I don't see any license on the code from
http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/usbsnoop/
so presumably there's no issue of license incompatibility with the BSD
license for libpcap/WinPcap.
However, he doesn't have a 2.0 version; where did you find the 2.0
version?
Any comments ? Or just tell if we are going to do something
foolish. Can we use the dissectors that are already written for the
linux platform.
Most of them, probably. However, you'd either have to provide the
same link-layer header that's provided by the Linux code, and use the
same DLT_ value, or provide a different link-layer header, register a
different DLT_ value, and write your own "dissect_win32_usb()" routine
to dissect that header.
The next question is that, we are able to have the piece of
HW that we developed and which will be in a working condition by the
mid of
next month, as an Opensource HW platform compatible with
(If not only with) Wireshark. It can intercept a physical TDM line,
to display the messages going on it. Is anything like this
possible with wireshark.
"Possible with Wireshark" in what sense? If that's the hardware for
which you're developing the SS7 support in WinPcap, it should be
possible to make it work - that's what you're doing.
