Yes, but I usually go to the ITU-T standard first, in the hopes that I won't have to drag out my credit card to get 
access to the standard.  Alas, my hopes were dashed in this case (but CHF 77 wasn't *too* bad).

That's OK - we don't require (and I, at least, don't even *encourage*) defining link-layer header formats in terms of C 
structures; for example, none of the pages in

        http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes/

use C structures (unless I screwed up when creating it).

At this point, no.  (I need to be able to push changes to pcap-common.c and pcap/bpf.h, but that's not under your 
control. :-))-
This is the tcpdump-workers list.
