Hi all,
I am wondering if any one knows about a generic parser which takes a
packet (mbuf) of a certain protocol (e.g RSVP ) as input and generates
some data structre representing the packet ?



you might look at DPF (a packet filter/classifier).. it has an interesting filter description language.

I've been searching for a while and found that ethereal and tcpdump
for example use specific data structres and functions to dissect each
protocol packets. Is this the only approach possible ?

My supervisor suggested using a TLV (Type/Length/Value) approach
instead. Any opinions about that?

If no such a parser exists is there any practical reason why ?

Thanks,
Aziz
