Modify existing diameter/dictionary.xml

0

If I modify dictionary.xml in the diameter folder to add another AVP or parse out more detail within an existing AVP do I need to rebuild? If yes what do I need to do on Windows7?

To add a new AVP you just need to add it to the existing files and restart wireshark. To add more detail you have to modify the dissector e.g write c code and recompile see packet-diameter_3gpp.c ad an example. It might be possible in Lua too. If you are adding standard AVPs please send us a patch so it can be included in the next release.

thank you. follow up question. I would like to have additional decoding for AVP 2516 (EUTRAN-Positioning-Data). It is in 3gpp 29.172. So I still need to modify packet-diameter_3gpp.c?

That may recently have been added to trunk, I don't have easy access to the sources currently. Try a development build.
