it keeps track of whether the expansion is opened or closed  so when
you select a different packet, the same expansions will still be
opened in the new packet.

Hi all,

Kindly tell me the role of of ett field.

It is usred in when we are creating the subtree from item e.g.

proto_item_add_subtree (subitem, ett_**);

Could any one please tell me the role of having an ett field here, whereas
if i give any ID it also works.

Why we require ett_field. (Expansion & filtering still works if i don't give
ett field in subtree). Can we skip ett fields & if we do what will the
effects ?

Kindly let me know ?

regards,
raman
