Yes, it does, thanks. Should I just cite that page as a reference in the comment I put into pcap/bpf.h for the DLT value?-
yes, please refer to that page. I'll keep it up to date.
And I *especially* thank you for giving such a detailed specification! Detailed specifications such as that
1) make it easier to write code to analyze packets for a given link-layer type;
2) make it easier to verify that code and make changes to it;
3) make it harder for somebody to mistakenly generate incorrect packets in that format (and then plead for heuristics in code that reads packets in that format to detect their incorrect packets and handle them).
There's good documentation and examples (like radiotap) to push people in the right direction, this helps a lot. Best regards, Martin - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
