Hi all,

A heads up to anyone that uses Wireshark to debug PCP network traffic. I've just added a feature to the PCP protocol dissector that dynamically builds up the PMID to name mapping by tracking PMNS_NAMES and PMNS_IDS packets. Whenever a PMID is decoded in the dissector, it will try to display the metric name if it was captured as part of the that conversation.

For those interested, it looks something like this: https://wiki.wireshark.org/PCP?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Screenshot-pcp_names_example.pcap.png

The feature has missed the 2.0 release, but should be in the following Wireshark release.
