This fixes #499 and adds a unit test based on a pcap I found among Wireshark sample captures.
While working on the fix I noticed SCTP decoder incorrectly uses its
.data
field, basically copying.chunks
as seen in this line:All other dpkt decoders utilize the
.data
for any bytes remaining after decoding all the known fields (header fields and.chunks
in this case), leaving it for other decoders to pick up if necessary. I changed the sctp decoder to align with this convention and use.chunks
instead of.data
when packing and unpacking. All existing unit tests pass without changes.
