Dear Holger,,, I wrote OML in the filter bar ,,,response was it is neither a field or protocol name ...(is there any other syntax for protocol name for a-bis-oml). Just write down protocol name in the filter bar .
Hi Omar,
here are the options to figure out the name of the protocol for wireshark
1.) Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols and search for something that contains OML, Abis, A-bis in the name. (Actually it is A-bis OML and sorts at the top).
2.) You can look at the dissector sourcecode and search for 'register_dissector'. It normally comes at the bottom of the dissector sourcecode. The string is the dissector name.
3.) the convention of epan appears to be packet-FOO.c where FOO is the protocol name. In your case this would be 'gsm_abis_oml'. Wireshark has nice completion in the filter bar. By just typing 'g' for GSM it will show you all GSM protocols it knows, it should list gsm_abis_oml.
