Simple dissector:
  packet-udp.[ch] implements RFC 768

Somewhat complex dissector:
 packet-sctp.[ch] implements RFC 2960 and others

Very complex dissector:
 packet-xml.[ch] impelements (parts of) http://www.w3.org/XML/

as a rule of thumb most dissectors can be found in epan/dissectors and
should have a pointer to the specs they implement.

Hello,

I have read much of the wireshark documents on how to program a
dissector/plugin for a new packet protocol. Does anyone have a suggested
packet type, that has a public protocol document, for an already defined
dissector/plugin? This would help me to comprehend the remaining arcanum
in writing a dissector plugin for a new packet protocol type. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

John
