Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Use of WireShark to decode WiMAX MAC Messages

Thanks Jaap,

What we do is like MAC-to-MAC decoding; at least the ethertype was
helping us as now the packets are recognized as WiMAX. However, the
system is telling us that the TLV are unknown!!

How it can look at TLV without identifying the MAC message first?

I guess that we still have something wrong in our structure.

We tried to generate the capture using text2cap function using MAC
Messages with and without the header. Do we need to add or remove some
info before processing with text2cap?

Thanks again

Hi,

Currently Wireshark can't do much other than MAC-to-MAC decoding. This
is activated by packets with ethertype 0x08F0.

There is a set of decoding functions available, but no dissector that
binds them together.

There is additional work in the pipeline, so keep an eye on this list
and the developer list for things to come.

Thanx,
Jaap
