Ethereal now supports the Diameter Base Protocol as defined in 
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-aaa-diameter-07.txt

It does *not* support any extensions yet, but will soon.  (It *will* dissect
the packets, but will not print the names of the command codes or attributes
that are not defined in the diameter baese protocol)

You can get the new dissector from http://www.ethereal.com.  You will have
to download the changes directly from CVS until a nightly snapshot is built.

Changes (besides -07 support):

   o	Diameter Header and AVP flags are now parsed like flags in
	other dissectors.  (It looks much nicer now)

   o	Replaced large dictionary with a VERY compact one.  (A large 
	XML dictionary will be implemented soon.)

Please let me know if you have any problems with it.
