Hi

SMS msg can be carried over packet switched GPRS, and I am trying to
have Wireshark decode SMS carried on GPRS LLC protocol (SAPI 7). 

The stack is the following:

  -------------------
 | sms msg     |                
  -------------------
 | sms T-PDU  |         --> dissector exists (gsm_sms) in
packet-gsm_sms.c
  -------------------
 | sms RP       |               --> dissector exists (gsm_a_rp) in
packet-gsm_a.c
  -------------------
 | sms CP       |               
  -------------------
 | GPRS LLC   |         --> dissector exists  (gprs-llc) in
packet-gprs-llc.c
  -------------------

some SMS Control Protocol (SMS CP) fields are included in GSM A DTAP
dissector, but not the whole protocol. 

So I basically wrote a small plugin for SMS CP -following the dev
guidelines-, and linked to GPRS-LLC and SMS-RP and it works fine. 


The questions are:
- is there any interest in having this submitted back to the Wireshark
source ?
- if it is the case, what is the best practice (plugin, native) and
recommendations for the dissector calls - restrain the calls to be
within the new protocol code, or rather use call_dissector() etc in
other dissectors, which implies a small diff on other dissectors too.

 
Thks, and btw I found the developper doc extremely useful -many thks to
the author(s).
