Linktype allocation for ATSC link layer protocol

[Nick Kelsey <nickk () silicondust com>]

ATSC 3.0 includes a new link layer protocol known as ALP (ATSC Link-layer protocol).

A linktype allocation would enable packet capture and diagnostics of the ATSC 3.0 link layer.

Proposed linktype allocation:

LINKTYPE_ name = LINKTYPE_ATSC_ALP
LINKTYPE_ value = 289
Corresponding DLT_ name = DLT_ATSC_ALP
Description: ATSC link-layer protocol, as defined by ATSC A/330:2019

General link to ATSC 3.0 standards: https://www.atsc.org/standards/atsc-3-0-standards/
Direct link to ATSC A/330:2019 standard:

I can provide pcap samples demonstrating ALP captured from the Phoenix ATSC 3.0 test market.

Regards,

Nick
