Hi,
   I've written a dissect module for the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) IPv4, and am now trying to write the same for the IPv6 version.  I can't seem to figure out how ethereal differentiates between v4 and v6.  I see that AODV6 has been written, so I've compared it to the AODV dissect code, but I am still unable to figure out how ethereal knows which version is being used.  If you have any insight that might help, it'd be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

Aaron
