Recently having submitted a
protocol dissector and written a wiki page for it, I was reminded of a very
handy web site for protocol documentation that I reference quite often,
namely http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/Protocol.htm.
I think the folks at Network Sorcery did a really nice job at presenting
the protocols. The protocols are alphabetized so they're easy to find,
they use a common format for describing them, protocols cross-reference each
other where applicable, links to relevant RFC's are provided, related SNMP MIBs
are mentioned, etc., etc.
Anyway, I personally think the
format is somewhat superior to the current wireshark wiki pages for protocol
descriptions and would like to see Wireshark protocol pages mimic
theirs. Is it possible to mirror that site's content on
Wireshark's site? And then as we add new protocols, we could use a
similar format? At the very least, provide a link to it from
Wireshark?
Thoughts?
