Thanks so much!
I will double check:
"page 8 says for the Options Length field "This field MUST be set to 16.” But really the field must be set to 12, since that’s the length of the PDM option."
When I try to execute the LUA using the "Evaluate" option of Wireshark GUI, I get:
Lua: Error During execution of dialog callback:
[string "-- A simple dissector script for draft-ietf-i..."]:63: Field_new: A Field extractor must be defined before Taps or Dissectors get called
Is there another way I should be doing this?
Thanks,

Try the attached.
There is one caveat: it won’t work correctly if you have a IPv6 Destination Options Header with the PDM option but also other option types in that same header.
Also, I have no idea if I did the time scaling correctly.
BTW, there’s a bug in the draft: page 8 says for the Options Length field "This field MUST be set to 16.” But really the field must be set to 12, since that’s the length of the PDM option.
