What protocol are you trying to decode?
a semi-standard one or a completely proprietary one?
is it a protocol that might be interesting for the community?
if so it might be better if you create a real dissector for the
protocol since we have a compiler that translates ANS.1 into a real
builtin dissector.
see the code down in asn1 for examples of some 30-40 protocols
generated automagically this way.
there is also semi-extensive documentation in the wiki on how to use
asn2eth to generate a dissector from an ASN definition.
