in TCP, UDP, and SCTP, try the lower port number first, and then the
higher port number; this means that, for packets where a dissector is
registered for *both* port numbers:
1) we pick the same dissector for traffic going in both directions;
2) we prefer the port number that's more likely to be the right
one (as that prefers well-known ports to reserved ports);
although there is, of course, no guarantee that any such strategy will
always pick the right port number.
Ignore port numbers of 0, as some dissectors use a port number of 0 to
disable the port, and as RFC 768 says that the source port in UDP
datagrams is optional and is 0 if not used.

Don't add "-I" flags to search "epan", as that's no longer necessary

structure to the "packet_info" structure; only stuff that's permanently
stored with each frame should be in the "frame_data" structure, and the
"column_info" structure is not guaranteed to hold the column values for
that frame at all times - it was only in the "frame_data" structure so
that it could be passed to dissectors, and, as all dissectors are now
passed a pointer to a "packet_info" structure, it could just as well be
put in the "packet_info" structure.
That saves memory, by shrinking the "frame_data" structure (there's one
of those per frame), and also lets us clean up the code a bit.

dissector table contain both a hash table, to use to look up port
numbers to find a dissector, and a list of all dissectors that *could*
be assigned to ports in that hash table, to be used by user interface
code.
Make the "Decode As" dialog box code use that.
Also make it *not* let you choose whether to set the dissector for both
the UDP and TCP versions of a port; some protocols run only atop TCP,
some run only atop UDP, and even those that can run atop both may have
different dissector handles to use over TCP and UDP, so handling a
single merged list would be a mess. (If the user is setting the
dissector for a TCP port, only those protocols that Ethereal can handle
over TCP should be listed; if the user is setting the dissector for a
UDP port, only those protocols that Ethereal can handle over TCP should
be listed; if the user is setting a dissector for both, only those
protocols that Ethereal can handle over *both* TCP *and* UDP should be
listed, *and* there needs to be a way to let the "Decode As" code get
both the TCP handle *and* the UDP handle and use the right ones. If
somebody really wants that, they need to implement all of the above if
they want the code to be correct.)
Fix the code that handles setting the dissection for the IP protocol
number to correctly update the lists of protocols being dissected as TCP

This is for future use in a number of places.
(Arguably, "proto_register_protocol()" should take a dissector pointer
as an argument, but
1) it'd have to handle both regular and heuristic dissectors;
2) making it take either a "dissector_t" or a union of that and
a "heur_dissector_t" introduces some painful header-file

particular protocols, and which keep track of all dissectors that could
be associated with conversations using those particular protocols - for
example, the RTP and RTCP dissectors could be assigned to UDP
conversations.
This is for future use with UI features allowing the dissector for a
given conversation to be set from the UI, to allow
1) conversations between two ports, both of which have
dissectors associated with them, that have been given to the
wrong dissector to be given to the right dissector;
2) conversations between two ports, neither of which have
dissectors associated with them, to be given to a dissector
(RTP and RTCP, for example, typically run on random ports,
and if you don't have, in a capture, traffic that would say
"OK, traffic between these two hosts and ports will be RTP
traffic", you may have to tell Ethereal explicitly what
protocol the conversation is).

replace the existing checksummer with a modified version of the BSD

so that the checksummers won't try to checksum those.
(It doesn't seem to add a lot of CPU overhead, so we don't introduce a
flag to disable it, yet. Further checks may be necessary to see whether
the overhead is just swamped by other overheads when scanning through a
capture dissecting all frames, or if it truly is negligible.)

might not point to that buffer.
Add a routine "col_set_str()", which sets the string for the column to
the string passed to it as an argument; it should only be handed a
static string (a string constant would be ideal). It doesn't do any
copying, so it's faster than "col_add_str()".
Make the routines that append to columns check whether the pointer to
the string for the column points to the buffer for the column and, if
not, copy the string for the column to the buffer for the column so that
you can append to it (so you can use "col_set_str()" and then use
"col_append_str()" or "col_append_fstr()").
Convert a bunch of "col_add_str()" calls that take a string constant as
an argument to "col_set_str()" calls.
Convert some "col_add_fstr()" calls that take a string constant as the
only argument - i.e., the format string doesn't have any "%" slots into
which to put strings for subsequent arguments to "col_set_str()" calls
(those calls are just like "col_add_str()" calls).

ESIS dissectors.
Register the IP dissector and have dissectors that call it directly
(rather than through a port table) call it through a handle.
Add a routine "tvb_set_reported_length()" which a dissector can use if
it was handed a tvbuff that contains more data than is actually in its
part of the packet - for example, handing a padded Ethernet frame to IP;
the routine sets the reported length of the tvbuff (and also adjusts the
actual length, as appropriate). Then use it in IP.
Given that, "ethertype()" can determine how much of the Ethernet frame
was actually part of an IP datagram (and can do the same for other
protocols under Ethernet that use "tvb_set_reported_length()"; have it
return the actual length, and have "dissect_eth()" and "dissect_vlan()"
use that to mark trailer data in Ethernet II frames as well as in 802.3
frames.

Create different hash tables for wildcarded conversations, to reduce the
number of "is this a wildcard?" tests done when doing hash lookups.
This is sufficient to allow the TFTP dissector to use conversations
rather than being special-cased in the UDP dissector, and may also be
sufficient to handle a similar problem with SMTP (request goes from
client IP X port Y to server IP Z's well-known port, reply comes back
from some other port on server Z to client IP X port Y), but further use
may reveal other changes that should be made.

the following:
It is now possible to enable/disable a particular protocol decoding
(i.e. the protocol dissector is void or not). When a protocol
is disabled, it is displayed as Data and of course, all linked
sub-protocols are disabled as well.
Disabling a protocol could be interesting:
- in case of buggy dissectors
- in case of wrong heuristics
- for performance reasons
- to decode the data as another protocol (TODO)
Currently (if I am not wrong), all dissectors but NFS can be disabled
(and dissectors that do not register protocols :-)
I do not like the way the RPC sub-dissectors are disabled (in the
sub-dissectors) since this could be done in the RPC dissector itself,
knowing the sub-protocol hfinfo entry (this is why, I've not modified
the NFS one yet).
Two functions are added in proto.c :
gboolean proto_is_protocol_enabled(int n);
void proto_set_decoding(int n, gboolean enabled);
and two MACROs which can be used in dissectors:
OLD_CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, pd, offset, fd, tree)
CHECK_DISPLAY_AS_DATA(index, tvb, pinfo, tree)
See also the XXX in proto_dlg.c and proto.c around the new functions.

dissectors to be registered as dissectors for particular ports,
registered as heuristic dissectors, and registered as dissectors for
conversations, and have routines to be used both by old-style and
new-style dissectors to call registered dissectors.
Have the code that calls those dissectors translate the arguments as
necessary. (For conversation dissectors, replace
"find_conversation_dissector()", which just returns a pointer to the
dissector, with "old_try_conversation_dissector()" and
"try_conversation_dissector()", which actually call the dissector, so
that there's a single place at which we can do that translation. Also
make "dissector_lookup()" static and, instead of calling it and, if it
returns a non-null pointer, calling that dissector, just use
"old_dissector_try_port()" or "dissector_try_port()", for the same
reason.)
This allows some dissectors that took old-style arguments and
immediately translated them to new-style arguments to just take
new-style arguments; make them do so. It also allows some new-style
dissectors not to have to translate arguments before calling routines to
look up and call dissectors; make them not do so.
Get rid of checks for too-short frames in new-style dissectors - the
tvbuff code does those checks for you.
Give the routines to register old-style dissectors, and to call
dissectors from old-style dissectors, names beginning with "old_", with
the routines for new-style dissectors not having the "old_". Update the
dissectors that use those routines appropriately.

Specific queries and debugging requests may be sent from ports
other than 520, but they are directed to port 520 on the target
machine.
and RFC 2453, on RIP V2, says:
Specific queries may be sent from ports other than the RIP port,
but they must be directed to the RIP port on the target machine.
so there is no requirement that RIP packets have 520 as both source and
destination port numbers. It's therefore OK to register it as the
dissector for UDP port 520 - no need to handle it specially in the UDP
dissector as a reminder to make it check both source and destination
ports - so we do so.

sub-dissector table is not stored in the header_field_info struct, but
in a separate namespace. Dissector tables are now registered by name
and not by field ID. For example:
udp_dissector_table = register_dissector_table("udp.port");
Because of this different namespace, dissector tables can have names
that are not field names. This is useful for ethertype, since multiple
fields are "ethertypes".
packet-ethertype.c replaces ethertype.c (the name was changed so that it
would be named in the same fashion as all the filenames passed to make-reg-dotc)
Although it registers no protocol or field, it registers one dissector table:
ethertype_dissector_table = register_dissector_table("ethertype");
All protocols that can be called because of an ethertype field now register
that fact with dissector_add() calls.
In this way, one dissector_table services all ethertype fields
(hf_eth_type, hf_llc_type, hf_null_etype, hf_vlan_etype)
Furthermore, the code allows for names of protocols to exist in the
etype_vals, yet a dissector for that protocol doesn't exist. The name
of the dissector is printed in COL_INFO. You're welcome, Richard. :-)
