Re: Defining global filters?

Is the list of protocols that IMSI goes across finite?  Don't you really just want a "Conversation filter" that would 
be generated to include all the necessary protocols?  The registering dissector has control over how the filter is 
constructed.  Perhaps modify "Conversation filter menu item" to have 1-many relationship instead of current 1-1 if the 
necessary "dissector/filter data" can't otherwise be centrally handled?

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] Defining global filters?



Hi,
How to define filters and display the data of fields that may occur in multiple protocols? One example is IMSI ( 
International Mobile Subscriber identity) that exists in multiple 3GPP and 3GPP2 protocols, following a call flow 
through the system it could be interesting to filter on
IMSI across multiple protocols to build a filter covering all messages in the call flow.
 
Suggestion:
 
Create global_filters.[ch] in epan/dissectors or (packet-global_filters?) define functions to parse the data there 
and/or export the hf
Variable to be used in the protocol dissectors.
 
From GTPv2 current:
:
International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) : 262021030000050
IE Type: International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) (1)
IE Length: 8
0000 .... = CR flag: 0
.... 0000 = Instance: 0
IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identity number): 262021030000050
