The company I work for has a proprietary protocol used to carry

to check-it in because it is proprietary and no one else would
want it.

Is there a way I can write a plugin that will attach to TCP
dissect and then force the data into the BSSAP dissector.
So where does your protocol fit in the protocol stack? Does it run atop BSSAP? Or does BSSAP run atop your protocol? Or is there some other layering?
