Hi Michael,

Thanks.  Question, though: since the default column list doesn't include
a port (and since TCP, UDP, IP, etc. put src & dest info in the tree)
would it be Better for the default for this behavior to be on?  (I saw
that the preference defaults it to off.)

I think this would make the default "out of the box" behavior more user friendly. What do you think?

Regards,
-Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I have checked in the functionality. I have added a preference for that,
because I always use a port number column and will add a list of
chunks to the protocol tree summary. So having both, the port numbers
and the chunks may consume too much space. So let the user decide...

Best regards
Michael

Hi list,

Here is a small patch which makes the SCTP dissector more like TCP in that the Source and Destination ports are displayed in the tree item (thus saving the user the trouble of expanding the SCTP tree just to find the port numbers).

I didn't implement a preference (like 'tcp_summary_in_tree') because I don't see the benefit; if desired I can add that.

Regards,
-Jeff
