Note that we have dissectors for all of those (and that the names aren't the protocol names, e.g. "domain" rather than 
"DNS", "microsoft-ds" rather than "SMB", "router" rather than "RIP").  The issues are probably mostly with the 
protocols not used enough to have Wireshark dissectors.

Perhaps we should, instead, have our own table of port numbers->protocol names.
