Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Need help about subprotocol

Hi Amit

My problem is there are too many fields in only one protocol. So, I want to split the packet into two independent dissectors. I attached it:)


Steve,

I do it as you said. But the problem is there are too many fields. I think it's better split it into two protocols. Attached the C file. The problem troubles me for many days. Wow...

Best regards

-Bingyao

The best/easiest way to do it is within the same dissector.  A dissector
you can use as an example is packet-wlccp.c.  The only difference is
that the version (akin to your type) field is at the beginning of the
packet, but that doesn't make a difference in how it's implemented.
Line 205 gets the version (type in your case) and line 208 checks if the
type is 0x0 and displays fields based on that version.  Line 231 checks
if the version is instead 0xC1 and displays fields based on that
version.
