Right, so this NFS anonymizer is already a plugin because its a tap?
No. A plugin can be a tap or dissector; a tap can be a plugin or a
built-in.
If not, is it even necessary to make it a plugin? considering that it
can be run only when *-z nfsanon* is in the command line.
It's not *necessary* to make it a plugin.
However, it's sufficiently specialized - and is violating a sufficient
number of rules for Wireshark code, namely "don't try to store into a
tvbuff" - that it won't be incorporated into Wireshark as it stands,
so it might be a bit more convenient for you if it's a plugin.
