If those are statistics about the protocol, that sort of work is best done in a tap, rather than a dissector; dissectors should just dissect packet data and put items corresponding to packet fields into the protocol tree and possibly attach "expert info" items to it as a result of further analysis. You can have plugin taps, just as you can have plugin dissectors. A tap for Wireshark can put up a GUI. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
