Hello,
 
I have two questions.
1. How does ethereal detect which protocol dissector to call when it encounters a packet?
2. How do you make ethereal call a protocol dissector when the protocol packet is hidden inside another protocol
i.e FRAME(HEADER(IP PACKET HEADER(TCP PACKET HEADER(XXX PACKET HEADER(DATA))))), If we have to write a protocol dissector which has to dissect the XXX packet what needs to be done.
 
Thanks and best regards,
Pradan.
