If you are creating new adaptation layers (BACnet, NFC, P19...) you may also want to capture packets and debug what's going on with Wireshark and/or Tcpdump/WinDump. Both use libpcap: http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html Values in the range 147 through 162 are reserved for private use You can fork it on github. There is a long list of recognizable IETF names in the TCPDUMP/LIBPCAP credits file, and I am the chief bottle washer at tcpdump.org. I can help you get a LINKTYPE_ value at this point; it's rather easy, and we are generally very liberal with new values. There is a pcapng format designed, but to date not very widely used as yet, and it appears that there is some interest in bring it to the OPSAREA WG to standardize. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+IETF@sandelman.ca>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
