Re: Release of a test version of ForCES dissector based on Ethereal 0.99.0

Yes, you are right. The length cought should be in DWORDS rather than in bytes, according to section 6.1 of the protocol document. We just need to change it to bytes when showing it. 
Fenggen has modified the code to meet this. The current version is in the right way.

thanks very much for catching it.

Greetings, 

I just installed and used your ethereal code.

However imho, I think there is a small bug.

In all my ForCES packets it doesn't calculate the length correctly.
i.e. Bogus: Forces Header Length (6 bytes) is wrong.
That was a simple association message, which has 6*4 = 24 bytes.

I think that you must multiply the header length by 4 to get the correct value.
