I understand that LINKTYPE_ value just saves an id for the link type, but 
parsing code for InfiniBand is exist in wireshark - under ERF link type 
(Extensible Record File), so I wonder why not using the actual link type of 
InfiniBand.

Thanks,
Tal.

tcpdump doesn't have any code to process them, either.  The existence of a 
LINKTYPE_ value does not, in and of itself, indicate that any code exists, in 
any protocol analyzer, to handle it.
