GSM DTAP malformed packet

asked 2020-04-24 14:50:16 +0000

Hello everyone.

I've got a packet that is technical a call setup from a PRI plugged into a Cisco AS5400. This message is passed via IUA to a server.

Wireshark sees this as "Stream Control Transmission Protocol" > ISDN Q.921-User Adaptation Layer > Radio Signalling Link (RSL) > GSM A-I/F DTAP.

Wireshark complains that this is a malformed GSM DTAP message. And doesn't seem to display any of the raw ISDN message as it comes off the PRI (I'm looking for stuff like called number, source number..etc). I know it's in this particular packet, Because it can be seen in the lower raw section.

I'm not really sure what the message should be. But I don't think it's RSL. Disabling RSL and GSM DTAP just leave the data undecoded.

Have you played around with the various dissection preferences of the protocols?

Yes, Took a few settings to even get it this far. Specifically the RUDP port and some MTP3 stuff. However, I've not been able to find GSM A-I/F DTAP in the protocols portion of preferences. If I right click on the field in the capture. I get the option to "disable GSM DTAP". Which seems to mean I should find it in the protocol list. But I've not found it. Closest thing is GSMTAP. And none of the settings there make any difference.

Look at the IUA preferences, you probably want to uncheck Use GSM SAPI values
