Using your example fitted to my problem, what I get calling a new disector
for SMB Mailslot protocol with the tree use in the SMBtrans disector is --
top-level proto_tree
|
+ ------ Frame
| |
| +---- data
|
+ ------ Ethernet
| |
| +---- data
|
+ ------ LLC
| |
| +---- data
|
+ ------ NETBIOS
| |
| +---- data
|
+ ------ SMB
| |
| +---- data
|
+---- SMB Mailslot
What I want --
.
.
|
+ ------ SMB
| |
| +---- data
|
+---- SMB Mailslot
