Hello List,

quoting the 'Ethereal book':

To summarize, there a three ways to call a dissector when appropriate:

1) A dissector can call another dissector directly
2) A dissector can set up a lookup table for other dissectors to register on
3) A dissector can ask to look at the data of the packets that do not match any other protocol 


I'd like to know:
the case 3) is when a protocol dissector calls a heuristic function to match the packet ? 

Thanx
