Hi Ankit,
             Thank you very much Ankit, I 'm trying to follow the 1st
method. the question i have is the code i have written is in C++, i guess
the wireshark is compiled with CC ,Does CC can compile the C++ code, i have
used C style of C++ without much OOPS concepts.

Thanks and Regards
Sagar
