worthwhile,
but I don't think that's a hard rule. None of the groups proposed for
the initial
run have less than 14.As I wrote the opensafety package, I would like to split it up a little bit to make it more maintainable, as well as include two new subdissectors, which use the openSAFETY protocol, but are not necessarily part of it.For the subdissectors, it depends on how tightly they are bound to opensafety. If they could theoretically be carried on other protocols as
well
then they shouldn't be grouped with it, but if they are restricted to opensafety (in the sense that they use some special fields or features
of
opensafety and so actually couldn't be carried on, say, TCP, without
changing
the protocol), then they can logically be grouped with it. Again,
probably not
a hard rule, but a good guideline.
[Graham Bloice said] Some folks have articulated the drawbacks (to them) of making these changes but I haven't seen any actual advantages listed. Can anyone list them as they see it? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
