Re: Request for new DLT for RFTAP

[Jonathan Brucker <jonathan.brucke () gmail com>]

The RFtap protocol is designed to encapsulate any type of packet:
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or packets from any proprietary protocol.

RFtap is designed to carry RF metadata which is not handled by
current metadata protocols such as gsmtap, radiotap, and PPI.

You can read more about the typical use case in:
