I agree with Jaap. The Ethernet dissector should ideally handle the 802.1q
bytes. I am currently working on another dissector (apart from bug #6305) for
Cisco VNTAG dissector. I came across the same problem there too. Having the
code to handle the same header, spread across individual dissectors is likely
to create more bugs later on. Not to mention the overhead of updating it
multiple places if required later on.
