Hi,
Since this is a totally volunteer driven project, any support for additional protocol dissection depends on someone willing to create and contribute the dissector code to the project.
This usually happens when there is sufficient interest in having this support. When this will happen for the draft NTPv5 protocol remains to be seen.
So, any takers?
Thanks,
Jaap
