The socketcan dissector seems to decode the same things that we intended to provide as well. Your suggesting adding a packet-can.c where higher layer protocols can hook up makes sense.
Any suggestions on how the Windows app shall interface with Wireshark? Is the usage of an OUI in the SNAP header a feasible or shall we look at some other way?
Thanks,
Joakim

Yes, SocketCAN runs on Linux only.
Maybe a dedicated CAN dissector ( e.g packet-can.c) with it's own format (or why not take the very well designed SocktCAN format?) might be a good idea for a clear design. This CAN dissector is served by the SocketCAN dissector and your Windows CAN implementation.
The CanOpen (and other high level protocols like J1939) dissectors hook up on the CAN dissector.
Please note that the the data format that is used within the SocketCAN dissector is declared in the SocketCAN implementation (e.g struct can_frame and the bits coded into the id field). Furthermore SocketCAN defines a full set error codes that are indicated by the error flag in the id and transmitted in the data bytes.
Here you can find the corresponding headers with some details about SocketCAN:
