Hey Andrew!

Is there a plan to test pkt type headers or is going to be the usual leap of faith that everyone knows what they are talking about?

Anyhow, here is a test type 2.2 header I hope will get through. It was the only 2.2 compatible system I could find last time this particular cause was raised.

Life is good,
Maurice

Hey Maurice!

about?

The above should have read, "the usual leap of faith where everyone pretends to know what they are talking about".

Hey!!! It still works. :-)

What's a "pkt type header" and how would one test it?

Hey Rob!

What's a "pkt type header" and how would one test it?

The latest version I have is "FSP-1042 draft 7" dated 2019-03-27, authored by Stephen Hurd of 1:103/1. The copy I have came from Andrew Leary and I assume you have a copy there given your current status in the FTSC.

Test them? That is an extremely good question. Myself I wrote a bash script that scans the first 58 bytes and looks for uniqueness between the types. So far the most used pkt type is 2+ which as far as I know isn't an accepted standard. :::snicker:::

It has been the defacto standard without ever being an actual standard. The REAL one is of course type 2 which hardly anyone can do anymore. I can. How about you?

The orginal msg was a test of "Type 2.2 Packet" (FSP-1042 draft 7). The question was answered when it showed up beyond the link it was originally dumped on as a "Type 2.2 Packet" packed MSG which is the same regardless of the Type.

I am calling it a complete success.

So *I* call FSC-48 compliant packets "Type 2+" and FSC-39 comliant packets as "Type 2e". Any packet claiming to be 2+ is likely FSC-48 compliant, but *might* be just 2e compliant.

I think the differentiation I've done between FSC-39 and FSC-48 compliant packets is important, to me at least, and I don't think that's well covered in the FSP-1042 draft. I recall finding a hole/error in FSP-1042 draft when I was updating the SBBSecho type-2 packet parsing/generation logic and creating that wiki page, but I seem to have lost that detail to time. I'll keep doing comparisons between the docs and my code see if that'll jar it loose.

My recollection was that most packets that I see are in FSC-48 format (i.e. include the auxNet field), but I'll double-check that.

I checked the Squish source code (s_misc.c) and it's definitely writes the FSC-48 auxNet field to packet headers:
ph->aux_net=us->net;
But curiously, has the src-point indicator magic-net-value hack commented out:
/*if (us->point)*/ /* Kludge using the pkt.aux_net field */
/* ph->orig_net=-1;*/ /* for compatibility with other<tm> progs */

So Squish appears to generate packets that are not exactly FSC-39 or FSC-48 compliant. This conclusion was made from the source code released on GitHub (https://github.com/sdudley/maximus/blob/master/squish/s_misc.c) so it's always possible that earlier released versions of Squish did something different.

Same as it always was, FSP-1042 draft 7. I only see Type 2, Type 2+ and Type 2.2. Beats me what Type 2e is although I probably have seen a document somewhere describing it, along with a bunch of others that I have never run across in a functional tosser ... yet.

I think the differentiation I've done between FSC-39 and FSC-48
compliant packets is important

For sure but only if it doesn't muddy the waters of compatibilty. There is a big hole that exists that requires patching and I believe that is what FSP-1042 draft 7 attempts to fill.

I'll keep doing comparisons between the docs and my code see if
that'll jar it loose.

That sounds like a very good plan to me.

'2e' is the term I introduced with https://wiki.synchro.net/ref:fidonet_packets to describe packets conforming to FSC-39 ("A Type-2 Packet Extension Proposal"), so the 'e' stands for "extension".

I think the differentiation I've done between FSC-39 and FSC-48 compliant packets is important

For sure but only if it doesn't muddy the waters of compatibilty. There is a big hole that exists that requires patching and I believe that is what FSP-1042 draft 7 attempts to fill.

The FSP-1042 draft definitely seems to focus on the FSC-48 packet extensions (this is the document that introduced the term "Type 2+") and just skips over FSC-39 (what I've coined "Type 2e").

I compiled a list of the supported packet formats for popular tossers 4 years ago. I don't know if anything has changed since then and it might be not 100% accurate, but it looks like FSC-0039 is the standard that most tossers use for outbound packets and that every tosser can read.

"Type 2+" too. That is what it shows in the toss logs.

SBBSecho used to do that too, but I found that to be kind of confusing, and since FSC-39 makes no mention of "Type 2+", I just call/log FSC-39 packets as "Type 2e" instead.

IIUC, FSC-39.4 and FSC-48 packets are identical unless they are generated by a point system.

Or unless the FSC-48 compliant tosser *always* writes the originating net to the auxNet field (ala SBBSecho and Squish). Oddly, Squish (at least the code on github) has the generation and parsing of the magic (65535) value in the orignet field disabled (commented out), so it's actually more FSC-39 compliant than FSC-48.

I have PKTs from points using FMail, WinPoint, OpenXP, HotdogEd, Aftershock. All of them are FSC-39. Will try to get some from other tossers/packages.

I was trying to remember who it was that inspired me to add explicit type-39 support to SBBSecho, and that report I think was the inspiration. Looks like I made that change back in 2017.

Howdy,

I already called it a resounding success, which it was. What remains to be seen is whether or not any of this goes anywhere.

We'll I'll certain implement it in my project - better aligned with my design.

But alas, it might take me a little while, work has taken me to the Philippines this week...

Hey deon!

We'll I'll certain implement it in my project - better aligned
with my design.

I think Type 2.2 is a keeper despite the few that appear to be deploying it.

But alas, it might take me a little while, work has taken me to
the Philippines this week

Never been myself. Vancouver Island - and a few surrounding smaller islands - is as close as I have been thus far to an official Pacific island.

Life is good,
Maurice
