Is it possible to have a case where the software does not know if
promiscuous mode was enabled ? If so, we should allow for an "unspecified"
or "unknown" code for "promisc"
Perhaps a pcap to C-DNS converter would have this issue, if the pcap format
does not include "promisc" info?
Thanks, that's a good point. Yes, it is certainly possible to not have a known
promiscuous mode, and also of course in the case of a pcap conversion the
interface is not known.
We're discussing the best approach to handling this; whether to have specified
'unspecified' values, or specify that, since all config items in C-DNS are
optional, values should only be present if definitely known.
