Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] not able to decode TCAP/GSM_MAP/GSM_SMS protocol layers

Hi,
I currently have wireshark 1.2.9 and I�m not able to decode M3UA traffic
exchanged between SMSC and STP. Decoding ends up on
ETH/IP/SCTP/M3UA/SCCP layer and the rest is non decoded raw data.
Could anyone tell me what�s wrong in the traffic? Please see HTML output
bellow (left side correctly decoded, right side incorrectly).
The message on the right has no SSNs in the SCCP Called/Calling
addresses. Wireshark uses the SSN to know that the message is TCAP (as
opposed to some other upper-layer protocol).
I suppose that if this is really a problem SCCP could have a preference
for a "default" upper layer protocol if none is found via SSNs.
