Hello,
there is the posibility in wireshark to create a "dissector-plugin".
I want to dissect a packet which is not even conform to the ethernet
protocol.
Is it possible to create such a dissector plugin in this "low level"?
Best regards
Jan


Hi,

Who said Wireshark is for Ethernet? Have a look at wiretap/wtap.h and see how 
many link layer types are already supported. And yes, each has a dissector to 
start with, from epan/dissectors/packet-frame.c and up.

Thanks,
Jaap
