[Sig Tran <sigtran7@xxxxxxxx>]

I'm using Ethereal to display an M3UA capture session. I've found a very weird thing analyzing a M3UA packet If I use "RFC 3332" version to decode the packet everything is correct, but if I use any "Internet Draft" version I get a lot "Unknown Parameters". We did not find any difference in Payload Data Message (DATA) parameters between those version.

 

You can see what I mean in the attached files.

 

Thank you.
