Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Generic Dissector

[wsgd <wsgd@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the answer.

To be honest, I did NOT know the LUA dissector !

The LUA example given into the wireshark documentation seems effectively 
a little bit complicated
compared to a simple descritpion.
So I will not make a better answer.
