Thanks for the info!

OK, this will be A LOT of work.

I thought, that the UUID binding info must be handled by the DCOM dissector,
but I agree to you. I will have a look at the sunrpc, how they do this job. 

It will also be necessary to keep the Call and Context ID between Request
and Response in mind, as this is at least in DCOM needed to handle the Response
data.

A basic IDL info in the first step could be hold in a static data struct
inside the dissector.

Do you know, if the .idl syntax for the DCE-RPC and DCOM are identical? If
not, do you have an example DCE-RPC idl file (just for my information at this
devel stage)?

Do you have some further information about the DCE-RPC protocol?

Is the "handoff stage" on your to-do list, or are you already working on it?
