Agreed that would be a significant improvement--regardless of any other
improvements that could be made. When in doubt, let the (otherwise frustrated)
user override. :-)
Of course being automatic would be even better.
Maybe if the subdissectors were new-style (this is like being heuristic but I
think the model is cleaner if you think about it as "new style")? I suppose
with these protocols it might be necessary to set up conversation data and/or,
as you said, only "try" the dissectors on the first PDU.
