Thanks,

I submitted a request to IANA on Friday.
Should i open up a bug report and attach sample pcaps?

IANA is definitely the better way to go, but another option is to make the port number configurable (as a dissector preference, maybe using a
"range" preference in case multiple ports are needed), possibly
defaulting to 0 (meaning users must configure it to get it to work).

Making the dissector a "new style" one that does heuristics and does not accept packets that don't appear to be its protocol would make this even
better.

Ideally this should be done via a bug report so that sample captures of such TIPC-over-UDP traffic could be attached for automatic fuzz testing.

Good question.
I'll bring this up with the TIPC working group.

Hi,

Why not request for a proper portnumber at IANA?

Thanks,
Jaap
