I have developed two new Wireshark dissectors for two CORBA protocols: ZIOP and
MIOP.

MIOP (Unreliable Multicast Inter-ORB Protocol), as describes OMG specification
[1], provides a common way to deliver GIOP request and fragment messages via
multicast over UDP/IP. MIOP is implemented by some ORBs like TAO, TIDorb,
JacORB (Mjaco), etc.

ZIOP (Zipped Inter-ORB Protocol) is a new protocol which compresses GIOP 
messages. Currently is a "OMG recommended for adoption" specification[2], that
is, is under standardization by the hand of RemedyIT (TAO), TID (TIDorb) and
IONA (Orbix).

Both dissector protocols are based and uses the CORBA GIOP dissector
(packet-giop.c/h) that currently are in the Wireshark distribution (SVN trunk)
developed by Frank Singleton.

Nevertheless I have need to make some minor changes in this current giop
dissector to allow MIOP and ZIOP dissectors uses it for dissect the CORBA GIOP
messages which are encapsulated by these protocols. These changes are
transparent to the current behavior of the giop  dissector.

I have tested both dissectors with TAO and TIDorb (in little and big endian
architectures) with GNU/Linux.

I hope that can be added to main distribution of Wireshark.
