I am trying to write a new dissector riding on tcp (see below).
It is a thing which we call CST+ (but I havent found out yet what its origins are...).
Can anyone suggest a simple packet-xxxx.c that might be close?

Perhaps, if you can suggest a protocol that's close. :-)
Where did you get the name CST+ from?

It stands for Client-Server-Transport. It has a 10byte header and 2byte-trailing checksum.
It is used to replace the socket layer at our company.
EG, we make calls to CST+ and it makes the socket calls...
I am looking at packet-gift.c as a reference, but I need to add "conversations" at some point...
