Seth Hall updated BIT-1092:
---------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected
        Status: Closed  (was: Open)

No plans to support variable length headers at this time and this ticket doesn't have any concrete tasks in it so I'm closing.

>             Project: Bro Issue Tracker
>          Issue Type: Problem
>          Components: Bro
>    Affects Versions: 2.0, 2.1

> This issue has been discussed before at this location:
> http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.detection.bro/3932
> Running Bro on version 2.0 or 2.1 results in the following error
> $ bro -r ~/Documents/airportSniff-5000-packets.cap 
> fatal error: bro: problem with trace file /home/bro/Documents/airportSniff-5000-packets.cap - unknown data link type 0x7f
> From my understanding (by looking at get_link_header_size() method in src/PktSrc.cc), currently Bro cannot handle variable size header information.
> Is there any future plan to handle variable size header information?
