I am trying to extend the XIP dissector to include a sub-protocol that should only come after an XIP header. I want it displayed at the top-level in the "Packet Details" pane, so adding this protocol *inside* of the XIP dissector code seems like a good choice. I think FT_PROTOCOL will allow me to do this.
But on the other hand, the new protocol is somewhat complicated, and for readability would probably be better suited as its *own* dissector in a separate file.
Is there a preferred way to proceed in this kind of case? All of the uses of FT_PROTOCOL in dissectors that I can see appear to be fairly simple.
