Hello,

thanks to Sven Eckelmann we now have Wireshark [1] dissectors available. :)

You can use them to analyze B.A.T.M.A.N. traffic in your network, it dissects the protocol information of the incoming packets.

The dissectors are available at our tool download site[2]:

http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/useful-scripts-and-tools/wireshark-bat... -> Dissector for the latest batman-advanced (layer 2) revision http://downloads.open-mesh.net/batman/useful-scripts-and-tools/wireshark-bat... -> Dissector for batman-0.3 (layer 3)

Development is going on at http://gitorious.org/projects/wireshark-batman and http://gitorious.org/projects/wireshark-batman-adv

It is planned to contribute the dissectors to the upstream Wireshark soon.

Regards, Simon
