Just write your dissector and register for
- a sctp.ppi and/or sctp.port
- a udp.port

After doing this your dissector will be called by the SCTp
and UDP dissector.

Best regards
Michael

Hi,

I am interested in writing a decoder for a proprietary protocol. This
proprietary protocol is carried by SCTP data chunk, and a few messages
are carried by UDP. I started by reading "README.developer" file in
code directory. Since this would be the first time I would be writing
a decoder for ethereal, I wanted to know if there is a better resource
available to get me started quickly. Is there an online tutorial etc.


What i did was just take a look at other decoders, the general setup is the same for all of them. And really not that hard, within a few hours you should have a decoder framework in place. For more advanced tricks find a decoder that does what you need and look at its source.

The source is the best tutorial there is, one of the good things of
OpenSource.
