Subject:   Tcpdump problems: LLC2 decode is incorrect ?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am writing to ask if any one has found problems with the LLC2 decode in
tcpdump.

tcpdump writes llc2 headers with protocols such as

. fddi
. 802.3/SNAP/IP
. Ethernet | 802.3/LLC2/NetBEUI

Here is an example where tcpdump (-x -s200) decodes the control bytes
0x01e5 as an RR with Number Received 0, whereas I think it should be an RR
with Number Received = 114 (ie hex(e5 >>1))

18:42:22.789598 0:20:35:43:3f:e3 > 0:20:35:71:f2:e8 sap f0 rr (r=0,C)
len=42
f0f001e5000000000000000000000000        rr Nr 114

I think tcpdump is a wonderful tool so its more likely I am wrong.

The FreeBSD 2.2.5 tcpdump seems to behave the same as the latest version
(3.46 ?) from ftp.ee.lbl.gov.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely
