I'm working on a dissector for a protocol that encodes a timestamp as a 64-bit number of nanoseconds since midnight.

Is that "midnight on a particular date", where the date appears in the packet along with the time-of-day, or is it 
"midnight since some implicit day" (e.g., "today") or "midnight since some date specified in some other packet"?

It's implicit, and midnight today (the protocol is NASDAQ OUCH-4.x)
