At what condition I get the 'Vendor-Specific' attributes value in the decoded response

[psanford]

Can you provide a minimal executable example that demonstrates the problem? I think it would be as simple as providing the dictionary file and then a script that encodes a packet with the dictionary and then decodes it.

Otherwise you can look at the tests for examples for how to use vendor-specific attributes.

The client needs to load the dictionary file as well.
