This is what I ended up doing. Copy paste TCAP and GSMMAP code into
plugin and add my private opcode handling. Why do I need private
opcode. Probably I don't understand how can I utilize this extension
container as mentioned below. In my case what I need is switch to a
new opcode such as 0xff, then dissect a bunch of private parameters.
Are then defined in 3GPP maybe or maybe not. I think the problem I had
is generic.
Someone wants to have something new for wireshark, and the new thing
is easier to deploy under plugin. But it needs to inherit
implementation from build-in dissector.
Thanks,

Hi,
I suppose this means you have to rebuild the complete MAP
Dissector as a plugin adding your opcode(s) if the opcode isn't
clashing with the existing ones perhaps it can be added to the existing MAP
dissector.
Why do you feel the you need to add private opcodes to MAP
instead of using the existing ones adding extension containers for any
private data needed or work with 3GPP to get the new opcodes you need
added to MAP.

It is a private opcode to MAP.
