Wireshark dissectors for OpenFlow 1.1 and 1.2. It's based on ng-of-dissector by Nick Bastin.
- glib >= 2.0
- wireshark >= 1.4.0 (including development headers)
- scons >= 2.0
The build requires wireshark include files somewhere on your system. You can
set the WIRESHARK environment variable to the directory that your include
files live in (e.g. the root of an svn checkout) - this should be such that
<epan/packet.h> is a valid include.
On Linux the build should work out of the box (once you set WIRESHARK),
producing libpacket-openflow.so, which needs to be renamed to openflow.so
and moved into an acceptable wireshark plugin directory
(/usr/local/lib/wireshark/plugins/<ver>/ for example).
In Ubuntu, installing wireshark-dev and scons should satisfy all
dependencies and provide a building environment.
The Windows build should also pretty much work out of the box, provided you have sufficiently set up your system for building Wireshark itself.
The MacOS X build should work if you've built/installed Wireshark yourself (e.g.
via Brew), which means you'll have all the build dependencies already satisfied.
You will still need to download the source distribution that matches the version
you installed via Brew so that you can run configure and generate config.h
for your environment. Once you have a config.h for your environment, the scons
build should work as it does on any other posix system.
-
Set the Wireshark include directory. In Linux, this should be:
$ export WIRESHARK=/usr/include/wireshark
-
Run:
$ cd src $ scons install
-
Run Wireshark
-
Run:
$ cd test $ make $ ./server (will stay listening forever on port 6633)
-
Go to Wireshark and start capture on
lo -
Run:
$ ./client
Several messages should appear. You can customize them in main function in client.c, and then repeat the steps above to see the results.
