Subject: Re: [PATCH] selftest/bpf: fix IPV6FR handling in flow dissector

Hi Jakub,

thanks for your reply.

Let me explain the problem with an example.

Please consider the PCAP file:
https://github.com/named-data/ndn-tools/blob/master/tests/dissect-wireshark/ipv6-udp-fragmented.pcap
Let's assume that the dissector is invoked without the flag:
BPF_FLOW_DISSECTOR_F_STOP_AT_FLOW_LABEL.
 
Without the proposed patch, the flow keys for the second fragment (packet
timestamp 0.256997) will contain the value 0x6868 for the source and
destination port fields: this is obviously wrong.
The same happens for the third fragment (packet timestamp 0.256998) and for
the fourth fragment (packet timestamp 0.257001).

So it seems that the correct thing to do is to stop the dissector after the
IPV6 fragmentation header for all fragments from the second on.

Regards,
    Pierpaolo Santucci
