--- Comment #2 from Chris Maynard <christopher.maynard@xxxxxxxxx> 2011-04-12 19:03:27 PDT ---
The length field was added in r24047:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/epan/dissectors/packet-3g-a11.c?r1=24047&r2=24046&pathrev=24047.
The document referenced for that change was
http://www.3gpp2.org/Public_html/specs/A.S0009-C_v1.0_070801.pdf. Page D-17
seems to be the relevant part of the specification, and would seem to validate
the change; however, on this page,
http://www.3gpp2.org/Public_html/specs/tsga.cfm, it indicates that that
document was superseded by
http://www.3gpp2.org/Public_html/specs/A.S0009-C_v2.0_090106.pdf, and looking
at the same section in that v2.0 document, I don't see the length field
anymore.
Version 3.0 is now out:
http://www.3gpp2.org/Public_html/specs/A.S0009-C_v3.0_100621.pdf, and it agrees
with v2.0, i.e., no length field.
Anyway, I'm not really familiar with this protocol or specification, but it
would seem to me that the length field was only added in temporarily, possibly
as draft changes, but then later redacted. I am inclined to revert r24047, but
maybe someone who is more familiar with this protocol than I am can have a look
first?
