PAN ID compression not properly interpreted
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I am sending EBeacons (version 2 + IE bit set) with ext. src addr and enabled PAN compression, however the dissected output shows a parsed src. PAN ID, which shouldn't be there (leading to cascade parsing errors).
Details:
My FCF[0]&[1] is 0x40 0xe2
=>
Beacon - Ver (2), Frame, Sec. (False), Pend. (False), Ack (False), Compr. (True), SeqSupr. (False), IE Present (True), Dst.Addr. (Not present), Src.Addr. (Extended address), SrcPAN (False), DstPAN (False)
This case is covered by line six in Table 2a--PAN ID Compression
in 802154e-2012, which should result in no included PAN ID (neither src. nor dst.).
This parsing error is not so crucial, because beacons without any PAN ID might not occur too often in reality.
(I am using wireshark version 1.99.7 and the repo version with hash be5bb10 from July 1)
