tshark -v -> 4.2.5

Can you provide a capture file or hexdump of the full packet?

As Chuckc stated, we need the full F1AP message to check what's going on. The dissection of the RRCContainer opaque object depends on the F1AP message type, procedure code and SRBID field value.

How can I share the dump?

@Pascal It was working previously when the order of the IE was srb Id followed by rrc container. Now after correcting the order to rrc container - srb Id, it doesn't decode as expected

Place it on a public file share (Dropbox, Google, Microsoft, ...) and update the question with a link to it.

@nrao please provide a pcap, or give details regarding the encapsulation use for the F1AP message so that we can know how to decode the hex dump (a pcap is highly preferred). If the SRBID field is after the RRCContainer one, you need to use 2 pass analysis. Have you tried adding the -2 option to your tshark command line?

@Chuckc @Pascal Quantin, after using -2 option in tshark the issue is resolved. Thank you for your time.
