The additional 90 or so link types already defined in pcap-common.c needs to be taken into consideration to prevent conflict.
Values in the range DLT_MATCHING_MIN
to DLT_MATCHING_MAX
, from pcap/dlt.h
, are not available for assignment.
We can add "reserved for" entries for the ones that don't have specifications.
Sounds good.
One small detail, DLT_MATCHING_MAX
will soon change due to https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/pull/934
They should be there now. Some ranges are marked as "not to be used".
So, please don't stress about getting everything perfect. We have to get the document adopted (or sponsored), and then have a conversation with IANA about how to transfer this large table. (They may prefer another format) Not that good data isn't better than bad data, I'm just saying: let's get the format right.
The current list of link types contains about 128 link types, unfortunately the list there is incomplete.
