Hi list
I feel dissectors should be grouped in to different families
and these groups appears as subdirecory of dissector dir. Few example families
may be
Routing
Multicast
Voip
Massenger
Other
These are just examples, we need to find out if such a grouping is
possible.
One more proposal related to this is putting these groups on ethereal
site,where listing may contain all supported as well as currently not supported
protocol. This list may be updated as people come across new protocols
and a developer interested in a particular domain may choose a protocol
and write a disscetor.
best regards
Naveen

OK, looking at the various input on the list, it
looks to me like the
proper thing to do is to put the dissectors in epan/dissectors.
I prefer
that to earlier suggestions of epan/packet because the actual packet
processor is more than the dissectors, and includes most notably the
existing file epan/packet.c. To be precise, what I'm calling
dissectors
is those files in the top level directory that start with "packet-".
And
in the new dissectors directory, they would have the redundant "packet-"
stripped off.
Any objections to this?
A secondary question, then, is whether the dissector directory should
be
decomposed further. It will take me a while to make a proposal
about
that, because I have to investigate all the interrelationships between
the
packet- files.
Would it be OK to move everything into the new single-level directory
and
address further decomposition later? Or would it be better to
do it all
at once if we're going to do it?
