It certainly is the right place to ask.
Start with ncp2222.py. In define_ncp2222(), each
request/reply type is defined. There's lots of things going on in there...
types are defined, error values are defined, and the packets are defined,
along with packet sizes.

ncp2222.py is a python program which creates C code. This C code is
compiled into the ncp dissector.

I'm sure you'll have questions; send them to me. Your questions will cause
me to better document what's going on in ncp2222.py.
