I wish to send my own byte stream to wireshark to decode instead of it getting from the wtap driver on the runtime.

Can anyone suggest me the way to do it.

I feel there is some point where wtap driver sends the packets to wireshark for decoding, I wish to use that point and send my own captured byte stream on runtime.

Please inform if the problem is not clear.

The problem is not clear. :-)

Are you trying to change Wireshark to be able to do a live capture of packets from some source not currently supported by libpcap/WinPcap, or are you trying to change Wireshark to be able to read a file containing packets that have already been captured?
