Hi Anders, Thanks for the prompt reply. I’ve read through exported_pdu.h and I
don’t understand how this helps me. Is there somewhere I can read more about using exported_pdu functions?
Thanks and regards…Paul
Instead of writing a fake Ethernet header You could write an exported pdu header. I'm not sure that would help you but it gets rid of the faked layer and you can add meta data in the exported pdu section should you want to.

with a dummy Ethernet header
You could use the exported pdu format See exported_pdu.h in epan directory. Should you need new tags for meta
information those could be added.
Regards Anders I’m now writing a dissector for the resulting pcap-ng file. The problem
is that the number and meaning of the “columns” in the log is not predictable – it depends on the web log format settings. Therefore the first entry in the pcap-ng file contains the name of the field, a definition of the data type and the column position. In the dissector, I read this first record and then set up an hf_register_info array. That’s the background, now my question.
Can I make calls to proto_register_xxx functions in my dissector, or
must they be made from proto_register_xxxx?
Thanks and regards…Paul ______________________________________________________________________ This message contains confidential information and is intended only for
