Subject: Request to add MCTP and PCI_DOE to PCAP link type

Hi
I write this email to request to below 2 link types.


  1.  MCTP

Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) is an industry standard defined by Distributed Management Task Force 
(DMTF) Platform Management Communication Interface (PMCI) working group (https://www.dmtf.org/standards/pmci)

DSP0236 (https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0236_1.3.1.pdf) is the Management Component 
Transport Protocol (MCTP) Base Specification. It defines the MCTP transport header.
DSP0239 (https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0239_1.7.0.pdf) defines the Management 
Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) IDs and Codes. It defines the MCTP message type in a MCTP packet payload.

Proposal:

LINKTYPE_ name
LINKTYPE_ value
Corresponding DLT_ name
Description
LINKTYPE_MCTP
XXX
DLT_MCTP
MCTP packet is defined in DMTF PMCI working group Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) Base 
Specification(https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0236_1.3.1.pdf) 8.1 MCTP packet fields. 
It starts with MCTP transport header in Figure 4 - Generic message fields.



  1.  PCI_DOE

PCI Data Object Exchange (DOE) is an industry standard defined by PCI-SIG (https://pcisig.com/) Data Object Exchange 
(DOE) ECN<https://members.pcisig.com/wg/PCI-SIG/document/14143> (https://members.pcisig.com/wg/PCI-SIG/document/14143).


Proposal:

LINKTYPE_ name
LINKTYPE_ value
Corresponding DLT_ name
Description
LINKTYPE_PCI_DOE
XXX
DLT_PCI_DOE
PCI Data Object Exchange (DOE) is defined in PCI-SIG Data Object Exchange (DOE) ECN 
(https://members.pcisig.com/wg/PCI-SIG/document/14143) 6.xx.1 Data Objects. It starts with DOE Data Object Header 1 in 
Figure 6-x1: DOE Data Object Format.



The reason I submit this request is because we are implementing a "SpdmDump" tool to dump the SPDM message defined in 
DMTF PMCI Security Protocol and Data Model (SPDM) Specification DSP0274 
(https://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0274_1.1.0.pdf).
SPDM is similar to network Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. It is a transport layer protocol.
The MCTP and the PCI_DOE are the transport layer binding to send message to hardware device (MCTP capable device or 
PCI_DOE capable device).

We did a prototype for the SpdmDump tool (https://github.com/jyao1/openspdm/blob/master/Doc/SpdmDump.md). We can 
generate a PCAP file and parse it offline.
In our prototype, we use below definition:
#define LINKTYPE_MCTP      290  // 0x0122
#define LINKTYPE_PCI_DOE   291  // 0x0123
If you can assign same number, it will be great.
If different number is assigned, we will change our implementation accordingly.

Thank you
Yao Jiewen
