    This is a Wireshark Lua-based capture file reader.
    This "capture file" reader reads message logs from Acme Packet (now Oracle) Session Border Controllers,
    such as sipmsg.log files.  There are several variants of the log file format, as well as some changes that
    can happen based on how the log file is generated and retrieved; for example if it's generated through a
    'tail' command, or FTP'ed by a FTP client which adds carriage-returns.  This Lua file reader tries to handle
    such conditions.

    Note: this script wasn't written to be super-efficient, nor clever.  When you've been writing Lua for a while
    you get used to writing in a different, more elegant fashion than this script is; but other people find it
    hard to read such Lua code, so I've tried to keep this simpler.

    Features:
    -handles sipmsg type logs, sipdns type logs, algd type logs
    -handles both IPv4 and IPv6, for both UDP and TCP
    -reads sipmsg logs from 3800, 4250, 4500, 9200, 6300 SBCs
    -handles logs with extra carriage-returns and linefeeds, such as from certain FTP'ed cases
    -handles logs generated/copied from a 'tail' command on the SBC ACLI
    -handles MBCD messages in logs, and puts their decoded ascii description in comments in Wireshark

    Issues:
    -for very large logs (many megabytes), it takes a long time (many minutes)
    -creates fake IP and UDP/TCP headers, which might be misleading
    -has to guess sometimes, though it hasn't guessed wrong yet as far as I know

    To-do:
    - make it use Struct.tohex/fromhex now that we have the Struct library in Wireshark
    - make it use a linux cooked-mode pseudo-header (see http://wiki.wireshark.org/SLL)
    - make it use preferences, once I write C-code for Wireshark to do that :)
    - rewrite some of the pattern searches to use real regex/PCRE instead? It's not in Wireshark yet,
        but it's coming (see https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/332/)

-- There are certain things we have to create fake state/data for, because they
-- don't exist in the log file for example to create IP headers we have to create
-- fake identification field values, and to create timestamps we have to guess the
-- year (and in some cases month/day as well), and for TCP we have to create fake
-- connection info, such as sequence numbers.  We can't simply have a global static
-- variable holding such things, because Wireshark reads the file sequentially at
-- first, but then calls seek_read for random packets again and we don't want to
-- re-create the fake info again because it will be wrong.  So we need to create it
-- for each packet and remember what we created for each packet, so that seek_read
-- gets the same values. We could store the variables in a big table, keyed by the
-- specific header info line for each one; but instead we'll key it off of the file
-- position number, since read() sets it for Wireshark and seek_read() gets it from
-- Wireshark. So we'll have a set of global statics used during read(), but the
-- actual per-packet values will be stored in a table indexed/keyed by the file
-- position number.  A separate table holds TCP peer connection info as described
-- later.

-- I said above that this state is "global", but really it can't be global to this
-- whole script file, because more than one file can be opened for reading at the
-- same time. For example if the user presses the reload button, the capture file
-- will be opened for reading before the previous (same) one is closed. So we have
-- to store state per-file. The good news is Wireshark gives us a convenient way to
-- do that, using the CaptureInfo.private_table attribute/member. We can save a Lua
-- table with whatever contents we want, to this private_table member, and get it
-- later during the other read/seek_read/cose function calls.

-- So to store this per-file state, we're going to use Lua class objects. They're
-- just Lua tables that have functions and meta-functions and can be treated like
-- objects in terms of syntax/behavior.

-- Packet creation/serialization occurs using a Lua class object model
-- There's a single base class 'Packet' which has data/methods every packet type has
-- 'RawPacket' and 'DataPacket' both derive from 'Packet'.
-- 'RawPacket' is for packets which the log file has the raw IP/UDP headers for,
--   such as ALG log messages (MGCP/NCS).  Since the IP headers are in them, we use those.
-- 'DataPacket' is for packets which the log file only has payload data for, and
--   we need to create fake IP/UDP or IP/TCP headers for.
-- 'BinPacket' and'AsciiPacket' both derive from 'DataPacket'.
-- 'BinPacket' is for binary-style logged packets, such as MBCD or DNS, while
-- 'AsciiPacket' is for ascii-style ones such as SIP.
-- 'DnsPacket' derives from 'BinPacket', for DNS-style logs.

-- Each class has a read_data() method, which reads in the packet data, builds the packet,
-- and sets the Wireshark buffer.  Some classes have a get_data() method which read_data()
-- calls, to get the payload data before building a fake packet.

-- The base Packet class has a get_hex_data() and get_ascii_data() methods, to get the payload
-- in either form, and those base methods are called by get_data() or read_data() of derived
-- classes.

-- For performance reasons, packet data is read line-by-line into a table (called bufftbl),
-- which is concatenated at the end.  This avoids Lua building interim strings and garbage
-- collecting them.  But it makes the code uglier.  The get_data()/get_hex_data()/get_ascii_data()
-- methods read into this table they get passed, while the read_data() functions handle managing
-- the table.
