Hi I'm using Wireshark 3.2.6

When I sniff BGP update messages carrying Segment routing BGP Prefix-SID, it shows a Red Highlighted line of decode and doesn't seem to properly render the BGP message.

When expanded, it shows as "Unknown BGP Prefix-SID TLV Type: 5" ... "Expert Info (Error/Protocol): Unknown BGP Prefix-SID TLV Type: 5"

Is there a version of Wireshark or an update or a certain setting that I should use in order to properly see the BGP Prefix-SID?

I have the decode hex info if it helps.

here the issue posted to gitlab... https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshar...

Currently supported:

/* draft-ietf-idr-bgp-prefix-sid */
#define BGP_PREFIX_SID_TLV_LABEL_INDEX     1
#define BGP_PREFIX_SID_TLV_IPV6_SID        2
#define BGP_PREFIX_SID_TLV_ORIGINATOR_SRGB 3

IANA BGP Prefix-SID TLV Types lists 5 as:

Value        Type              Reference 
5   SRv6 L3 Service [draft-ietf-bess-srv6-services-02]



Looks like there is a Wireshark issue open.

Ok. 15915 is related but this topic should be handled by itself.

How to open an issue
Would help if you can also provide a packet capture.

Those look like when the code was first added in 2016.
To get the IANA updates rolled in, open a New Issue on GitLab and attach the capture to it.

...and for feedback/confirmation, yes this wireshark version is definitely correctly displaying BGP Prefix-SID, with relative Sub-TLVs (srv6 behavior, structure)

I'm using it on Win7
