Hi Alfredo,

I can see that now. I didn't notice pfring_utils has been changed to use a 
different structure. The struct ipv6hdr in pfring_utils.h is no longer used so 
can possibly be deleted so it does not confuse anyone else :)

Regards,
Denis

Subject: Re: [Ntop-misc] Incorrect size for payload_len in ipv6hdr

Hi Denis
IPv6 parsing has been fixed some time ago in the SVN code, however thank you 
for reporting.

Regards
Alfredo

Hi,

I had some problems decoding IPv6 packets with the pfring_parse_pkt() function. 
The problem turned out to be an incorrect size payload_len element in the 
struct ipv6hdr in pfring_utils.h. Patch attached below. I also added an error 
clause to the cpp defines statement just in case something is messed up with 
the bitfield ordering macros on a platform. The problem does not occur in the 
kernel module packet parsing as it uses the system version of struct ipv6hdr 
from /usr/include/linux/ipv6.h.

Regards,
Denis
