Hi, Doing some tests with my iscsi test tool I discovered that Wireshark does not decode LIO iSCSI REJECT PDUs. The reason is due to the sanity checking in wireshark deems the REJECT PDUs as "not iscsi" an thus it skips dissecting the packet. I have attached a trivial trace where you can see this PDU in frame 7. Now, I could just change wireshark to be more forgiving and losen the sanity checks a little, but since LIO is open source it should be semi-easy to fix the actual bug instead of adding a workaround to wireshark. The bug is that RFC3720 section 10.17 indicates that bytes 16 to 19 should all be set to 0xff. But as you see in the trace above these bytes are set to 0x00 when sent from LIO. This is what trips up wireshark. Since these bytes are supposed to be 0xff for a REJECT PDU, this is thus deemed to be not-ISCSI and wireshark might try a different protocol dissector instead. Maybe someone could look at this and fix the REJECT PDU. I use LIO as it shipped with Fedora 17. regards ronnie sahlberg
