Contributions summary:Bruno primarily contributed to the Wireshark project by implementing dissectors for various DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) messages and functionalities. Their work involved adding dissectors for the OFDM Channel Descriptor (OCD), Downstream Profile Descriptor (DPD), UCD type51, Downstream Profile Test Request (OPT), and others, enabling Wireshark to parse and display the contents of these messages. Additionally, they enhanced the existing MAC Management messages, adding support for reassembly of fragmented messages.
