Hi Luis,

for MTP2 it is very simple. You can just have the MTP2 message
as the packet in a libpcap file with DLT value of 140. If you put

0000 77 77 00
0000 77 78 01 02
0000 77 79 02 03 04

in a file with name mtp2.txt with the command

text2pcap -l 140 mtp2.txt mtp2.pcap

you can process it with ethereal.

If you put MTP3 packets in the file you need to
use the -l 142 option.

I hope this helps.

Best regards
Michael

Hi,
I got MTP3 messages taken directly from a trace in a network element
(just unencapsulated MTP3 with timestamps). I'm writing a script to
import these into ethereal.

I've already created a script that fits the mtp3 message over
m3ua/sctp/ip/eth but I find it cumbersome to add that much data to
decode mtp3 and it's payload since I noticed Wiretap has already an
mtp2 "encapsulation".  So far I haven't been able to figure out which
format to use.

How the MTP2 file is formatted?

Thanks,

Luis
