Re: Request for a new LINKTYPE_/DLT_ type.

["Dave Barach (dbarach)" <dbarach () cisco com>]

Dear Michael,

Thanks for the info. Apologies for not finding DLT_ALLOCATE_HOWTO.md. "I'm on it..." 

At least until the vpp project doc tree moves to more sensible place, the URL below will track any changes. The file 
format [and by implication, the companion wireshark dissector] shouldn't need to change. 

https://fdio-vpp.readthedocs.io/en/latest/gettingstarted/developers/vnet.html?highlight=wireshark#graph-dispatcher-pcap-tracing

Thanks... Dave

Generally, an email such as yours.
You can send a pull requests against libpcap if you like, see:
    https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/blob/master/doc/DLT_ALLOCATE_HOWTO.md

Is there a URL we can point to that might contain updates, or will your email be enough?

Can you explain a bit more about what collects these records, and what they are used for?
