Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Enabling protocol in Decode As dialog

It's basically an 802.15.4 MAC frame plus an additional byte at the beginning placed into the payload of a UDP datagram. I based it on a stripped-down CoAP dissector as I notice that appearing in the "Decode As" list in the "Transport" tab. The only thing the CoAP dissector does in addition is to add a port using dissector_add_uint() - could that be what's missing?

What protocols does it run on top of?
