Hello, Would it be possible to use a specific mapping of ISPC to name of the signalling point operator in Wireshark by specifying it in the configuration or somehow, without needing to specify it in packet-q708.c and recompiling it? Cheers, zvmduka asked 14 Jun '13, 03:11  zvmduka |

No, you can't do that now. But there's an enhancement request out there which requests the functionality. answered 14 Jun '13, 06:57  JeffMorriss ♦ |
Unfortunately that is not implemented in that code (no user definable options). So, if you need to change a mapping, you'll have to change the code and then recompile it. BTW #1: If a 'mapping bug' is the reason for the change, please file a bug report at https://bugs.wireshark.org BTW #2: Why do you need a different mapping? Maybe there is another solution for your problem. Regards answered 14 Jun '13, 06:26  Kurt Knochner ♦ edited 14 Jun '13, 06:26 For #2: think of it as IP<->hostname mapping except for SS7 point codes. (14 Jun '13, 06:58) JeffMorriss ♦ maybe he needs the mapping just for some kind of quick analysis,which could also be done with a script !?! (14 Jun '13, 07:17) Kurt Knochner ♦ Thanks for the info Kurt! 1: there's no bug in ISPC->operator mapping, that's all good. 2: to have a human-readable format of the point codes used in the internal communication between the nodes and as well with international ones. In the telco network you have a big bunch of nodes communicating with paired routers and it would be easier to see through the Wireshark communication between "London-SMSC-4; London-HLR-1" rather than OPC/DPC == 1234/5678. Anyways, thanks for the info. For the time being I'll keep the list of PCs in packet-q708.c and recompile when necessary. Cheers! (15 Jun '13, 05:19) zvmduka |
Thanks for the info Jeff, I haven't seen this request before.
