I will be happy to post the addresses of the spec and answer
questions. I may be able to provide some samples too but the headers are
pretty simple. I can also provide some pictures I have made to help sort out the
flack. One problem with this stack is that there are many documents you must
read to put 2 and 2 together.
Just let me know what a WIKI is and how to create the page
(step-by-step please because).

iSER/iWARP
The current status is that ehtereal does not have any support
for any of these protocols.
iSER and iWARP are new niche protocols. It
is quite possible that none of the ethereal developers have access to any
capture files
or documentation of these protocols.
A good start
would be to create a WIKI page for these protocols with links to standards and
also a bunch of big capture files to use as an example.
The
standards for some of the protocols are very funny in that they make a big
thing of pointing out how expensive
data-copies in a normal stack
is and from there go on to describe a mapping that is impossible
to implement in a software stack
without doing a LOT of data
copy. :-)
I fear there is little hobbyist interest in a
protocol specifically designed to be impossible to implement efficiantly in a
normal stack.
