Hi,

I was wondering what you do if your sub-dissector (tcp and udp) is using a port
defined by another dissector.  In this case we are using ports 5060 
(also used by packet-sip.c) and 5050 (also used by packet-yhoo.c).

This new protocol is used on a flight test airplane for data acquisition, so
it is unlikely to ever be used by anyone else.  I suppose I could have them
change the use of these ports, but I was wondering if there was a way to 
"remove" the other protocols.  I suppose I could just not build them in, but was
looking for a more elegant solution.

Another question that shows my ignorance.......
Embedded in these packets is a SYNC pattern (following is a header).

	Packet Exchange Protocol (PEP)
	    SYNC Pattern: 0xd00bed00
	    Message Type: GET_DB_RECORD_ID_RSPREQUIRED - Get Database Record ID (request) (0x00000471)
	    Message Length (bytes): 184

It is the very first thing after the TCP or UDP header.  Is there a way to use this sync pattern instead of the port
to identify this packet as being associated with this dissector.

Thanks for your time
