Hi again,

Any one having any other idea here. To put it short, I have written a plugin dissector for a custom protocol which works fine in wireshark, but as a next step I want rest of packet data to be decoded by a higher layer protocol dissector of wireshark (e.g. TCP or UDP, depending on a field value of custom protocol). Can you please guide me, as to what steps should I take in to account to get this task done. 

Additional Info:
Platform being used in Ubuntu
Programming Language is C or C++

                                                        I am counting alot on anyone's help. So please help me here. 

Thanks and Regards,
Hammad Kabir

a while ago, I added dissection of DVB-CI messages that contain a tcp or
udp part. Have a look at epan/dissectors/packet-dvbci.c. When the
connection is opened, I call store_lsc_msg_dissector() and try to find
the matching dissector for the selected tcp (or udp) port.
Later in dissect_dvbci_payload_lsc(), case
T_COMMS_SEND_LAST..., I call the tcp dissector using call_dissector()
and pass the message tvb as a parameter.

Is this similar to your task?
