+ * Subject: [tcpdump-workers] request for LINKTYPE_
+ *
+ * We've had some discussion over on ethereal-dev about a "fake link" or
+ * "raw SS7" dissector that allows dumping an arbitrary protocol into a
+ * file without any (otherwise necessary) lower level protocols. The
+ * common example has been dumping MTP3 into a file without, well, MTP2 or
+ * M2PA.
+ *
+ * We want to store these protocols directly in PCAP file format because
+ * it's well defined and there isn't another (popular) file format for
+ * capturing SS7 messages that we can reverse engineer (and we want to read
+ * these files into Ethereal). Rather than creating a new file format, it's
+ * a lot easier to just allocate a LINKTYPE_.
+ *
+ * Here is the original post thread:
+ *
+ * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200306/threads.html#00200
+ *
+ * July's thread on the subject:
+ *
+ * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200307/threads.html#00124
+ *
+ * August's thread:
+ *
+ * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200308/threads.html#00193
+ *
+ *
+ * and one of the last messages--which is why I'm mailing you today:
+ *
+ * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200308/msg00193.html
+ *
+ *
+ * Based on the message in the last URL, I'd like to request a new
+ * LINKTYPE_: LINKTYPE_RAWSS7.
+ *
+ * This packets in this file type will contain a header:
+ */
+
+typedef struct _rawss7_hdr {
+ /* NOTE: These are in network-byte order. */
+ guint32 type;
+ guint16 length;
+ guint16 spare;
+} rawss7_hdr;
+
+/*
+ *
+ * followed by protocol data for whatever protocol 'type' indicates.
+ *
+ * There was some discussion about these protocol 'type's being allocated by
+ * tcpdump-workers as well. In fact it would be handy to have one place to
+ * allocate such numbers, so what do you think about allocating 3 more (for
+ * now) LINKTYPE_'s:
+ */

+ *
+ * There is no reason this can't be used to store non-SS7 protocols, but
+ * it's what we need to use it for now...
