Hey Rob!

 RS> 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?

Life is good,
Maurice
