Hi All, I would like to see multipoint LDP FEC elements like

ldp.msg.tlv.ldp_p2mp.addr_len   Address Length  Unsigned integer, 1 byte    1.12.0 to 2.4.2
ldp.msg.tlv.ldp_p2mp.ipv4_rtnodeaddr    Root Node Address   IPv4 address    1.12.0 to 2.4.2
ldp.msg.tlv.ldp_p2mp.oplength   Opaque Length   Unsigned integer, 2 bytes   1.12.0 to 2.4.2
ldp.msg.tlv.ldp_p2mp.opvalue    Opaque Value    Sequence of bytes   1.12.0 to 2.4.2
ldp.msg.tlv.ldp_p2mp.type   P2MP Type   Unsigned integer, 1 byte    1.12.0 to 2.4.2

I see that they are supported but when I open a capture with these packets wireshark cannot decode them

Frame 6130: 108 bytes on wire (864 bits), 108 bytes captured (864 bits) on interface 0

                            **[Group: Protocol]**

I used 2.4.2 on Windows and 2.2.6 on linux, same results, any ideas?

Thanks.

If you are convinced these are valid packets then enter a bug report and make sure to attach this capture file. The fact that it says Unknown FEC TLV type tells me that there is a different interpretation of the tag between WIreharks' LDP dissector and the protocol.

Without the capture file there's little else to do.

Hello Jaap and All,

I was trying to attach the pcap file, but blog says I need >60 point to attach a file, unfortunately I'm new to this community, there is way to overcome this limitation and attach the files? I would like someone can try top open it to check if results are the same I see.

Thanks.

Hello again,

I checked on bugzilla and saw that there is already a bug opened for version 2.2.2 about the dissection of P2MP = 0x06 MP2MP (Upstream) = 0x07 MP2MP (Downstream) = 0x08, bug is 13171. Do you think it's better to file a new bug for the specific version I'm using? 

Version 2.4.2 (v2.4.2-0-gb6c63ae086)

Add the capture file to the bug in Bugzilla. If it's not relevant to that specific bug, someone will move it to an appropriate entry.

Hello, file attached to the bug. Thanks.

I see that bug 13171 is now fixed, I tried to build new wireshark patching packet-ldp.c with the diff file attached to the bug, but results are the same for me, I cannot see MP2MP FEC elements, could someone try the fix? Thanks.
