Yes, but what you *really* would want with that would be something like
"Decode this conversation/circuit as XXX", as the IP addresses and port
numbers are just details - you presumably care just about the
conversation.

That could also be used with the circuit mechanism to specify that, for
example, a particular X.25 VC be dissected as a particular type of
traffic.
