In my custom dissector i'm having the problem that my dissector isbeing
executed on ICMP packages aswell as UDP. In ICMP packages the data is
incomplete so the lua script crashes.

To avoid running it on ICMP packages I tried comparing the current protocol to
UDP but that crashes Wireshark.

I'm not sure if that is the best way of doing it so I'm open to any other
suggestion

function setDefault (t, d)
    local mt = {__index = function () return d end}
    setmetatable(t, mt)
end

do

    local protocols = {
        [0] = "RED"
    }

    local directions = {
        [0] = "Rx",
        [1] = "Tx",
        [2] = "RxTx"
    }

    setDefault(protocols, "UNDEFINED")
    setDefault(directions, "UNKNOWN")
    local version = "" -- use this when debugging to increase the number of the
parser

    -- declare our protocol
    local gsg_proto = Proto("GSG"..version, "GSG"..version)

    -- create a function to dissect it
    function gsg_proto.dissector(buffer, pinfo, tree)
        message("protocol >"..tostring(pinfo.cols.protocol).."<") -- this works
fine
        if tostring(pinfo.cols.protocol) == 'udp' then
            pinfo.cols.protocol = "myproto"
            return true
        end
    end

    gsg_proto:register_heuristic('udp', gsg_proto.dissector)
end
