The company I work for has a proprietary protocol used to carry
SCCP traffic over IP.  I have a dissector for it but don't want
to check-it in because it is proprietary and no one else would
want it.  

Is there a way I can write a plugin that will attach to TCP
dissect and then force the data into the BSSAP dissector.

I don't believe I can change the BSSAP dissector because it
will fail if the dissector below doesn't exist, right?

The other option would be to change the BSSAP dissector to
a plugin so that I can replace it easily.

Thanks.
