Thanks, I had a look through that documentation and it doesn't quite seem right. There
isn't really any heuristics in deciding which USB dissector applies to a given packet,
it's just that there are identifiers in a different layer. It's as if there's
a UDP protocol that only applies from host A to host B, which is on the IP layer. With
tcp/ip, udp can access IP layer source and destination , but I don't think usb.bulk
can access the usb vendor IDs. Or can it?
