Re: Adding a new packet to Wireshark

["Bruni, Michelle" <Michelle.Bruni () spirent com>]

Dario and Richard,

I want to thank you for getting back to me so quickly. Sorry for not responding sooner. I just realized this went into 
my junk folder. Thanks for the information. Richard to answer your question we would need to update existing packet_* 
files and we would be adding our own. 

Michelle

Hello,
I am Michelle and I work at Spirent Communications. We have been building Wireshark for many years because we had a 
proprietary signature field that we needed to decode and give to our customers. We are looking to open source our 
signature field and would like to put our packet dissectors into the Wireshark codebase. Before we get started on going 
through the process of committing and reviewing the changes into Wireshark I wanted to find out if this is something 
that is allowed and would get approved (after following the process of course).

Also we have some changes we have made to other packet dissectors that we will be pushing upstream and as we make new 
changes putting them back into the community.

Looking forward from hearing from you and working with the Wireshark community.

Michelle Bruni
Spirent Communications

I can't see any blocker in what you're proposing. Feel free to push your proposals and follow the review process.
Thanks for the contribution.

As Dario has already said, there should not be any problems. You will have to release the changes under the GPL, though.

As a matter of interest, is it a separate protocol or is it an addendum to an existing protocol?

Anything that improves existing dissectors is welcome.

Or any compatible licence. We have BSD licensed dissectors as well as GPL.
