how to decode mef8 88d8 protocol

alt text Hi I will appreciate help . I am using Version 1.8.1 (SVN Rev 43946 from /trunk-1.8). My packet stack is eth 88a8 8100 88d8. The application recognizes 88d8 as MEF 8 but the protocol is not decoded. I tried in several protocols enable: 1. All 2. Ethernet , Vlan, IEEE8021.D with several combination of the following a. Ethernet PW (CW heuristic) b. Ethernet PW (no CW) c. Ethernet PW (with CW) d. SATop ( no RTP) e. CESoPSN basic (no RTP) More than that when I try to use the decode option only the mandatory 3 are avialble. TX Bentzi

One Answer:

0	The MEF-8 dissector isn't available (yet). What you see ("MEF 8") is the interpretation by the Ethertype dissector for the value in the Ethernet header, but that is as far as it goes. answered 15 Aug '12, 04:02 Jaap ♦ 11.7k●16●101 accept rate: 14%
