Hi,

Can I use ethereal to parse a packet that is not a packet captured on the 
network. For example that packet does not have an Ethernet header or IP 
header or anything like that. It is file in my own custom format , lets 
call it XYZ packet. I would like to register  a plugin called packet-XYZ, 
whenever Ethereal sees this packet.

Is this possible? How do I make ethereal understand my custom packet and 
open it. I remember some one on this list mention I need to use wiretap 
library to do this.

How do I register my plugin handler, i.e, to which layer to I register my 
handler?

Thanks
Senthil
