28 * Apr 4, 2010 - David Aggeler
30 * - Initial version based on packet-vlan.c
32 * VMware Lab Manager is using this encapsulation directly as Ethernet Frames
33 * or inside VLANs. The Ethernet type was originally registered to Akimbi, but VMware
34 * acquired this company in 2006. No public information found, so the decoding here
35 * is an educated guess. Since one of the features of Lab Manager is to separate
36 * VMs with equal host name, IP and MAC Address, I expect the upper layer dissectors
37 * (namely ARP, ICMP, IP, TCP) to create false alerts, since identical configurations
38 * may communicate at the same time. The main goal of this dissector is to be able
39 * to troubleshoot connectivity, preferably pings. It's also a little to understand
40 * as to how host spanning fenced configurations actually talk.
