Hi, It'd be great if we have some abstract and pure (no C/assembly inline) language to write dissectors.
We could invent yet another protocol desciption language, but I was thinking to base grammar on netmon NPL [1] or wsgd [2]. I'm bigger fan of NPL (sorry Olivier), nmparsers project has got large collection of dissectors[3] which we could use (LLTD - bug #6071, Windows USB Port packets - bug #6520, netsh - bug #6694) but there might exists some legal (patents for grammar/implementation?!) issues. With wsgd we could reuse some existing code of plugin.
