packet-sctp, packet-m3ua.c are protocol dissectors for TLV based protocols. 

Best regards

Hi,
 
I am writing a protocol dissector for a proprietary protocol. Which has a format for Header + 1 or more TLV parameters. The TLV consists of Type (Element Id -- eid) + Length + Value. I wanted to know what would be an efficient way of writing a decoder. Which one of the packet-*.c file should I use as an example for TLV processing? 
 
Thanks,
Sal
