I am sniffing H.323 traffic with ethereal already about a half year. I was
using a 9.7 version with an extra h.323 plugin.
Spontaneously I experienced that the H.245 messages were not expanded
anymore, even TPKT wasn't shown, only TCP data.
Also the RTP and RTPC traffic wasn't expanded anymore, just showed as UDP
traffic
I tried many things:
Uninstalling winpcap and ethereal....reinstalling the latest winpcap and
ethereal 9.15 (after removing all ethereal directories).
I kept the same problem
The peculiar thing is that old captured files as well as the voip example
at the ethereal site show well formed H.245 expansions.
So....something strange should be in the capture files. However the
captures were made with working telephony calls and I am sure that the not
expanded H.245 messages were interpreted as such by the telephony
equipment. Analysing the byte-string of the TCP-data also showed a well
formed H.245 message.
However, when I looked after the complete TCP-stream window, the I saw a
difference. The 16th byte in the stream showed as a '.' in the packet
window, and as a '0' in the stream window.
Has anybody an idea what might be a clue here?
I include screenshots of the packet window as well the stream analysis
window. Further I send you the capture file, in which I experienced the
described problem as well as the not expanded RTP packets.
