This implements "IEEE 802.3/Ethernet" mode as described in annex F of
the PTP standard. This uses the same format packets, but directly over
Ethernet instead of encapsulated in UDP.
MEDSA (which unofficially stands for Marvell EDSA) relies on the
unregistered 0xDADA ethertype value that was randomly choosen and
currently used by the kernel. But with EDSA this value is programmable,
hence can be changed anytime.
Now that a reliable DLT parser is implemented for both DSA and EDSA
tagged master interfaces, let's get rid for the MEDSA ethertype parser.
Use EXTRACT_U_1() as required by those changes. Remove
no-longer-necessary & operators from other EXTRACT_ calls.
While we're at it, add MAC_ADDR_LEN to netdissect.h, and use it instead
of ETHER_ADDR_LEN; eliminate ETHER_ADDR_LEN.
Move the maximum Ethernet length field value to ethertype.h, under the
name MAX_ETHERNET_LENGTH_VAL.
Move the Ethernet header structure, and the #define for the Ethernet
header length, to print-ether.c; in non-Ethernet dissectors that were
using the Ethernet header structure, just declare two nd_mac_addr
variables for the source and destination MAC addresses and use them
instead of the Ethernet header (we don't need the type field there).
These changes leave nothing in ether.h, so eliminate it.
This header can be used with Marvell switches to direct packets in/out
of a specific port in a tree of interconnected switches. The header
uses its own Ethertype of 0xdada.
By default, only brief output is printed, showing the switch device,
port, and vlan the packet is to/from. However if -e is given, to print
the link-level header, all fields are printed.
The sample capture was produced with two Linux hosts (aoetools version
36, kernel module version 85, vblade version 21). One of the hosts
exported a 1MB block device containing a freshly created filesystem and
the other mounted it, wrote a small file and then unmounted.
Remove lots of $Header's and a few $Id's that all belong to the former
CVS repository of tcpdump itself. These keywords have been frozen since
the migration to git in late 2008.
have "ethertype.h" just declare it, so that
1) we only have one such table, shared by all dissectors that
use it
and
2) GCC 3.3 doesn't complain that it's defined but not used in
those dissectors that incldue "ethertype.h" but don't use
"ethertype_values[]".
"linux-includes/netinet/if_ether.h" to "ethertype.h".
Move other stuff used by dissectors from <netinet/if_ether.h> to
"ether.h", along the lines of "fddi.h" and "token.h".
Move ARP declarations from BSD include files to "print-arp.c".
Remove from dissectors includes of <netinet/if_ether.h>, and add
includes of "ethertype.h" and/or "ether.h" as necessary.
Get rid of configuration options that test declarations now made in
"ether.h" or "print-arp.c", as those declarations are now under our
control, not the OS's control.
