Some Sub-Tlvs description in FEC Stack are nonuniform with RFC4379.

["Liu, Pengfei (Jeff)" <Pengfei.Liu () spirent com>]

Hi ,

 

The Sub-Type in FEC Stack is defined in RFC4379 as follow:

      Sub-Type       Length            Value Field

      --------       ------            -----------

      ............

             9           10            "FEC 128" Pseudowire (deprecated)
-----current name

            10           14            "FEC 128" Pseudowire 

            11          16+            "FEC 129" Pseudowire

      ............

 

 

       0                   1                   2                   3
       0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
      |            PW Type            |          Must Be Zero         |
      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

             FEC 128 Pseudowire (Deprecated)

       0                   1                   2                   3

      |                      Remote PE Address                        |

      |                             PW ID                             |

      +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

                FEC 128 Pseudowire 

 

 

 

But in packet-mpls-echo.c:209, It is defined as:

.............

#define TLV_FEC_STACK_L2_CID_OLD   9       -----CID? old name?

#define TLV_FEC_STACK_L2_CID_NEW  10

.............

 

And the hf is defined like this:

                .............

                /*packet-mpls-echo.c:1219*/

                { &hf_mpls_echo_tlv_fec_l2cid_sender,

                        { "Sender's PE Address",
"mpls_echo.tlv.fec.l2cid_sender",

                        FT_IPv4, BASE_NONE, NULL, 0x0, "MPLS ECHO TLV
FEC Stack L2CID Sender", HFILL}

                },

                { &hf_mpls_echo_tlv_fec_l2cid_remote,

                        { "Remote PE Address",
"mpls_echo.tlv.fec.l2cid_remote",

                        FT_IPv4, BASE_NONE, NULL, 0x0, "MPLS ECHO TLV
FEC Stack L2CID Remote", HFILL}

                },

                { &hf_mpls_echo_tlv_fec_l2cid_vcid,

                        { "VC ID", "mpls_echo.tlv.fec.l2cid_vcid",

                        FT_UINT32, BASE_DEC, NULL, 0x0, "MPLS ECHO TLV
FEC Stack L2CID VCID", HFILL}

                },

                .............

 

For example, the CID VCID should be 'PW ID' of FEC 128 rather than some
old or invalid alias.

 

This may confuse the users.

 

Best Regards,

Jeff
