Hello Chris,

Could you send us an example of stored packets within a pcap file ?

Then regarding your code, I think there could be a problem how
your header offset is managed (tmpOffset variable).

I have understood that the packet begins with several headers,
each header has a length of 7 octets.

tmpOffset is updated after each extracted field,
and for one header, tmpOffset = tmpOffset + 7.
Correct ?

Then when beginning the following loop, tmpOffset is updated as the following :
tmpOffset = i * tmpOffset+1;
for i = 0, tmpOffset = 0
for i = 1, tmpOffset = 7+1 = 8
for i = 2, tmpOffset = 2 x (8 + 7 + 1) = 32
for i = 3, tmpOffset = 2 x (32 + 7 + 1) = 80

Is this normal ?

Regards
Philippe
