Polling for possible reasons why the 'filter name' does not work

Good day to all, I have been trying to figure out a behavior for a while now where the 'filter name' (third parameter of proto_register_protocol() function) does not filter the captured messages. For a brief background, I am studying/using an existing openflow dissector: https://github.com/CPqD/ofdissector I have scanned the README.developer and from looking at the ofdissector code, everything seems to be in order. At first I thought that the 'filter name' should be the same as the first 'prefix' of the display filters registered in hf_register_info declarations. Meaning if the display filters are like 'abc.yyy.xxx', the filter name should be 'abc'. But I think this does not necessarily need to be the case as I tried changing the prefixes in another of my dissectors and the filter name seems to work fine. Does anyone have any possible leads/reasons/hypothesis as to where should I be looking to fix this? Thank you in advance. Best regards, David
