So much for letting my half finished ipv6 and hf_ication changes lying in
my local tree. Nevertheless, I had only replaced the text stuff in half of
the functions and IPv6, so yours is more complete. The only thing my dissector
did that yours doesn't was that I added a *hack* to proto.c to allow me
to filter for the prefix' content (included for *informational purposes*
below) by adding an element of type FT_IPv6.
My usage looked like this:
length=tvb_get_guint8(tvb, offset);
ti = proto_tree_add_item(tree, hf_ipv6_int_prefixlen , tvb, offset, 1, FALSE);
offset++;
addr_len=ipv6_addr_and_mask(tvb, offset, &ipv6_addr, length);
if (addr_len < 0) {
proto_item_append_text(ti," [Invalid prefix length %u > 128]", length);
addr_len = 1; /* assure we can exit the loop */
} else {
ti = proto_tree_add_item(tree, hf_ipv6_int_dest, tvb, offset, addr_len,
FALSE);
...
{ &hf_ipv6_int_dest,
{ "Destination", "eigrp.ipv6int.dest", FT_IPv6, BASE_NONE, NULL, 0x0,
NULL, HFILL }},
Which brings me to the core of my posting: What would be a good solution
to the ipv6 prefix situation, where only the masklength and the beginning bytes
of an address are put into the packet but I still want to be able to filter
on the address part and maybe even have the resolving stuff available?
Would something like my hack be OK or should we add a new type like FT_IPv6PRE
or something else?
Thanks
Joerg
