Thanks for posting this Nivin,

I'm building it now and will try to test later on today, but here are
a few quick comments:

(1) I renamed the folder (on my machine) to be plugins/wimax-r6r4, so
as not to clash with the exisint air interface protocols plugin.  Does
that seem OK to you?

(2) you do lots of switches to convert between numbers and their
meanings as strings.
- please use value_string arrays and val_to_str() to look these up instead
- it would be nice to #define symbols for these

(3) it would also be nice to see #defines, or at least comments for
the tag values used in get_tag_type()

(4) how complete is this plugin?  Do you have a TODO list?

Best regards,
Martin

Hi,

Please do send the code, preferably with one or more test captures (I
have examples for some of R6, but not all)!

Thanks,
Martin

New WiMAX R6 plug-in





Hi,

I generated dummy packets for WiMAX protocol. Saved the capture to a dummy
file wimax_ether.cap.
Then ran 'fuzz-test.sh"
../fuzz-test.sh -p 2000 -d /root/ /root/wimax_ether.cap

For all passes I got the following message
Pass 839:
    /root/wimax_ether.cap:  OK

Have I missed something or all is OK. If all is OK the I shall make clean
and release the code.

Regards
Nitin

Hi,


First thing to so it testdrive it using fuzztest. Have a collection of
capture files ready which fuzztest will feed to your Wireshark+plugin.
That way you may find bugs not found during code review.

Then make sure all support files are in as stated in README.plugin.

Then 'make clean' the plugin directory and gzip it, after which you can
attach it to a mail to the developer mailing list. When time permits we'll
go over it and consider it for inclusion.


In the mean time a Wiki page would be nice, and most importantly, a sample
capture file.

Thanx,
Jaap

Hi,

I am Nitin Naveen working at HUGHES SYSTIQUE. We have developed a plug-in
to display
WiMAX R6 messages (between BTS and ASNGW). This plug-in is NOT for the AIR
interface.
It is for WiMAX signalling messages carried over Ethernet/ IP/ UDP.

We have followed most of the guidelines as per README.developer.  It would
be great if
it can be included with the normal Wireshark distribution.

Please let us know what are the various steps that we need to follow.
