Connection Less Network Protocol (CLNP)

For an overview, see the IsoProtocolFamily page.

You will often see this to be an "Inactive subset" as this layer was often simply not implemented in the ISO protocol stacks.

History

XXX - add a brief description of CLNP history

Protocol dependencies

• LLC: Typically, CLNP uses LLC as its transport protocol, atop a LAN protocol, although it can also run atop, for example, X.25.

Example traffic

XXX - Add example traffic here (as plain text or Wireshark screenshot).

Wireshark

The CLNP dissector is (fully functional, partially functional, not existing, ... whatever the current state is) - XXX - please add info, I don't know.

Preference Settings

(XXX add links to preference settings affecting how CLNP is dissected).

Example capture file

XXX - Add a simple example capture file to the SampleCaptures page and link from here. Keep it short, it's also a good idea to gzip it to make it even smaller, as Wireshark can open gzipped files automatically.

Display Filter

A complete list of CLNP display filter fields can be found in the display filter reference

• Show only the CLNP based traffic:

   clnp 

Capture Filter

• Capture CLNP based traffic only:

   clnp 

  This might not work with older versions of libpcap/WinPcap.

External links

• add link to CLNP specification and where to find additional info on the web about CLNP
