Hello, Forgive me if this has been asked before but I can't find any resources about the advantages/disadvantages of plugin dissectors and the ideal cases for each.
So far I have gathered that plugin dissectors are "easiest to write initially"[0] while builtin dissectors load slightly faster. [0] https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectAdd.html I have read the README.{developer,dissector,plugin} and a number of others but can't find a resource to help me decide which to write. For the curious I will be working on a dissector for the Ceph[1] protocol as a gsoc project this summer and am trying to make the decision whether a builtin or plugin dissector would be preferred.
