I'm trying to dissect a custom protocol that encapsulates on the wire
protocols into udp.
So, in the simple case, I could call the ethernet dissector like this:
eth_handle = find_dissector("eth");
/* Dissect as Ethernet */
next_client = tvb_new_subset(tvb, 0, -1, -1);
call_dissector(eth_handle, next_client, pinfo, bsn_tree);
But, my problem is, that *all* protocols are encapsulated. So, after I
decapsulate it, I need to check the ethertype, as in
packet-ethertype.c. But, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do it
. . . any ideas?
Also, since this is a propriatary protocol, should I be writing a plugin
instead of a normal dissector? I guess that would make more since . .
. it'd be easier than maintaining a patch.
