Hi. I've posted the sources necessary to add OSPF V2 packet tracing to
the Sniffer. They are in a UNIX tar file, ospf-sniff.tar, on
camelot.umd.edu. I hope this will be of use to people trying to debug
their OSPF implemntations.

There is a README file that describes how to install the OSPF
interpreter. You need a Microsoft version 5.1 C compiler (because that
is what the Sniffer object libraries have been compiled with).

On a related note, I know that there were OSPF version 1 interpreters
for FTP's LANwatch and for tcpdump. If anyone has converted these
interpreters to version 2, could they post a note to the list? Thanks.

John
