I do a similar task with PPP data (I think). Treat it the same as the data_handle used in your file.
 
There are only three lines needed:
 
Global:
    static dissector_handle_t ppp_handle=NULL;
in proto_register_xxx()
    ppp_handle = find_dissector("ppp");
Once you have determined the data segment to pass:
    call_dissector(ppp_handle, next_tvb, pinfo, tree);

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] frame relay --> osi

I'm not sure if using this email address to ask for help is frowned upon, but I'll give it a shot.

In epan/dissectors, the three files I'm working on are packet-fr.c, packet-osi.c and packet-lapd.c. The frame relay dissector hands off information to the osi dissector, and my goal is to mimick this behavior for lapd. That is, I want lapd to also hand off information to the osi dissector.

Most of what I have done is searched the frame relay file for any reference to "osi," and copied it to lapd, and changing like fr_osi to lapd_osi, etc. I've attached the c file.

I just can't seem to get this to work. Is there any advice you can give me to make this happen? I've already read the development guide, dissector readme, etc.

Thanks in advance for any help offered!
