I'm interested in extending the DHCP dissector to decode a vendor specific DHCP option. What is the recommended process for this? Is it possible to write a plugin that can be called for this option by the BOOTP/DHCP dissector, or would I have to actually modify the BOOTP dissector to accomplish this? 

You would have to modify the BOOTP dissector.

A way to add plugin dissectors for options might be useful.
