Hi all,

I wonder what's the best choice to represent CRC32 little-endian checksum? Should It be represented "as is"(exactly how it goes on wire) or I should flip it to show it in correct number form. Example: I have valid crc32 for some data: 0x01020304, it represented in pcap file as 0x04030201. Should I flip it to show it to user or it's better to keep it as is?

You might want to use proto_tree_add_checksum() to add your checksum to the tree--it does all the work for you.  (It will display the data in human-readable form--i.e., "flipped.")
