A builtin dissector please. I would recommend you to do a MR with a single IE to start with to get early feedback and get a hang of the process rather than a single large contribution that people would be reluctant to review.

Best regards

Hello Dev Team, 

I was wondering if you would like me to contribute my changes for the C-based dissector for Wireshark to support Juniper’s vendor-specific Information Elements (IEs) for the PFCP protocol -- as a plugin (plugins/epan) or as an in-built dissector (epan/dissectors/packet-pfcp.c). Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

Lavanika

Dear Wireshark Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Lavanika Srinivasaraghavan, and I am currently a Software Engineering Intern at Juniper Networks Inc. As part of my internship project, I am developing a C-based dissector for Wireshark to support Juniper’s vendor-specific Information Elements (IEs) for the PFCP protocol, based on TR-459 and internal extensions.

I would like to contribute this work upstream to Wireshark to benefit both Juniper and the broader community. I am reaching out to request guidance on the process for contributing dissector code and any permissions or prerequisites required to get started.

As my internship concludes on August 15, I would greatly appreciate it if I could get the necessary permissions and directions at the earliest, so I can align my work with Wireshark’s contribution standards and timelines.

Looking forward to your guidance on:

• Steps to begin contributing the dissector code

• Any documentation or contribution guidelines to follow

• Review or submission process for protocol dissectors

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
Lavanika Srinivasaraghavan
