So presumably new LINKTYPE_/DLT_ values will be requested for the captures with metadata, once the format for the metadata is specified? (PPI is *not* an ideal solution here; it's preferable to have the LINKTYPE_/DLT_ value directly specify the link-layer header type, rather than having the link-layer metadata header itself include a LINKTYPE_ value.) _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
