Thanks for working on this, we're always happy to have new protocols
added to Wireshark. If you found the protocol documentation easily on
their public web site, then I see no problems integrating it with
Wireshark. Wireshark already includes support for protocols that are
undocumented and proprietary anyway and many others that are documented
in ways that this protocol you're referring to is.
