So is this an extension to an existing protocol, or a completely new
protocol? (A new ONC RPC-based protocol or a new DCE RPC-based
protocol is a new protocol, not an extension to an existing protocol.)
If it's a completely new protocol, there's no dissector already
statically linked into Wireshark.
If it's an extension to an existing protocol, you'll have to modify
the existing dissector and build a private version of Wireshark for
internal use. (Anybody outside your organization to whom you give the
modified version can ask for the source, and you have to provide it to
them, and they can then give the source away to anybody they want.)
