By this do you mean writing a Wireshark dissector for the protocol?
I was reading about reserving a DLT_VALUE for the protocol, so
that with some coding it can be identified.
A DLT_ value is neither necessary, nor sufficient, to identify
protocols. DLT_ values are only assigned to protocols that appear as
the outermost layer in capture files.
