PPPoE capture with TR-101 options
Build Information:
Version 1.0.5 (SVN Rev 26954)
--
Load the attached configuration and check the PADI messages (or PADR). If you
check the bytes, notice there's a void 'service name' option (0x0101 for
tag_type, 0x0000 for the tag_length) which wireshark doesn't mention, then a
vendor-specific tag and then a set of TR-101 suboptions. The vendor-id is
displayed correctly (0x00000de9 - DSL Forum), then there's a blob called
'vendor unspecified'.
The main issue I was going to point out is the lack of support for decoding the
suboptions (so this is more of a feature request). I also think that the
vendor-specific tag is decoded in a somewhat counter intuitive way - the
display might suggest there are two tags, vendor-id and vendor-unspecified,
when in fact there's only one.
The lack of service-name is something else. I have an old wireshark-0.99.6a
which displays it, so it looks like a regression as far as I can tell.
TR-101 can be found here:

The format for suboptions is appendix A, page 96.
