Of the ones I needed/interested in ("eth", "ip", "ipv6", "tcp", "udp", "sctp") only "ip" had its proto_* variable in a header (in the dissectors directory).  Am I looking in the wrong place?  Do you think that's something I should add for the other dissectors?  I know string compares are more expensive than integers, but I don't believe the integers are available.  I also don't want to establish precendence and have dissectors think they need the proto_* variable to be public.

 

The string list to look through is rarely larger than 6 or 7 so I'm not sure the performance hit will be noticeable.

Rather than doing string comparisons you should just be able to compare the 
value directly to the proto_* variable for the relevant protocol. Most of the 
necessary ones should already be I'm public headers.
