The dissector I'm writing is a custom link layer protocol. My issue is that I'm not sure what I should use in the dissector_add() function. Most of the dissectors seem to be referencing other protocols like "tcp.port", but that does not apply in my case. The other thing I've seen is "wtap_encap" with the value being some defined constant. Can someone help me along in the right direction? If "wtap_encap" is the correct method, does that mean there is other files I should be editing in addition to my packet-abc file?
