Re: dynamic generation of dissector

[Martin Mathieson <martin.r.mathieson () googlemail com>]

There are dissectors such as Diameter that get some of their information
from configuration files.  It parses XML files to build up entries it knows
about and dynamically registers items based up the names and types of items
it finds there.  It then looks up and uses those items while dissecting.
 Wimaxasncp is another example.
