Ideally, you would have a document somewhere that would describe your capture format. We might want to review the format. I would note that if you are just adding logging, and you just want to use pcapng, that you might store your ethernet captures as normal EN10B, and your logging in a new LINKTYPE_, which was specific to your log format. In pcapng, you can mix different LINKTYPEs, in a single file. (But, not in pcap, which is/was a major reason pcapng was designed) Then you can ideally follow: https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/blob/master/doc/DLT_ALLOCATE_HOWTO.md send a pull request. > If anyone is interested we can provide further information. > Best regards > Frank Gorgas-Waller Software Architect > Auerswald Gesellschaft für Datensysteme mbH Vor den Grashöfen 1 38162 > Cremlingen Germany -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | IoT architect [ ] m...@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [
