Subject: [Wireshark-dev] gprs-ns / nsip dissectors

I have noticed that we have duplicate dissectors for GSM 48.016:  packet-gprs-ns.c and packet-nsip.c.

Do we have a policy of removing duplicate dissectors?
Not realy, but we should remove duplicates if possible I think. The problem is that we recive dissectors for protocols 
we may not know
much about.

Both of these appear to be well written, and work OK, but I prefer the output of packet-nsip, as it is less cluttered 
(e.g. dissecting NS block) and seems
to be updated to a later version of 3GPP (understands SDU control bits).

If it is useful I could check more carefully that packet-nsip.c is complete as a precursor to removing 
packet-gprs-ns.c?

Mike
Please do.

Anders
