Seems like the DTLs are exactly what I was looking for, didn't know about that 
until now.

The information that I will sending could me made identical to SocketCAN. Would 
it be ok to reuse the same DTL as SocketCAN? Doing this I would only need to 
write a dissector for the higher layer protocol and hook it to SocketCAN in a 
similar way as CANopen.

Thanks,
Joakim
