Dear tcpdump developers,

We would like to request a dedicated LINKTYPE_* / DLT_* code.
Auerswald is a major German telecommunications equipment manufacturer.
We have implemented the option to capture (combined) network traffic and logging information as pcap/pcapng in our soon 
to be released new product line.

For development, we so far have used LINKTYPE_USER0 and would like to change this to a proper code before the 
commercial release.

We also plan to publicly release the dissector and would like to make sure both can be released with a proper code from 
the get go.
The dissector we currently use is however only in lua.

Our preferred name would be
LINKTYPE_AUERSWALD_LOG

If anyone is interested we can provide further information.

Best regards

Frank Gorgas-Waller
