Title: Dissector and Port#

Hello,

Not sure if this is the right list to ask this question, but I will ask anyway.  I am in the process of writing a dissector and turning it into a plugin, using Linux 2.4.19 redHat. I am creating a dissector/plugin to dissect home-grown middleware. I am trying to crack open the data section of TCP, which contains middleware messages This middleware uses several different ports. How can I eliminate hard coding the port numbers and have the dissector capture all middle ware messages on all ports?

Thanks
Chauni
