Thanks for the reply. Can you please tell me what is the function of
p_get_proto_data() in Wireshark. Specifically, in case of FP frame, what is the role of this function?
p_fp_info = (fp_info *)p_get_proto_data(wmem_file_scope(), pinfo, proto_fp, 0);
Thanks

Registers a dissector table with the name atmii.aal2_payload in which it will be possible to register a callback for an UINT8 value. Compare with the UDP table where a dissector
can
Register to be called for a message with UDP port number. SIP registers for port 5060 for instance.
and then in dissect_atmii()
if (!dissector_try_port(aal_dissector_table, payload_type, next_tvb, pinfo, tree)) {
proto_tree_add_item(atmii_tree,hf_atmii_aal2_payload, tvb, ATM_HEADER_LENGTH, -1, FALSE);
}
The atmii.aal2_payload
table will be searched for a match on payload type if a match is found the callback will be executed handing next_tvb to the called function.
If no match is found(no dissector registered for the payload type FALSE will be returned.
>What does these two lines of code do in general as I’ve seen them in other protocols as well?
Oh, and you can see who has registered in the table in the Internal menu in the main menu bar and with what value.
Thanks
