Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Rudimentary MS NLB plugin

Hi list,

I've created a rudimentary Microsoft Network Load Balancing protocol
dissector. From what I could recognize on a network, I derived some
fields, but it remains largly unknown. It's in the form of a plugin,
since it is no where in shape of being a full blown dissector.

These files need to go into your development tree ethereal/plugins/msnlb/
and the various additions described in README.plugin for the inclusion
of a plugin need to be executed.

If we think this is valuable enough, feel free to add it to the
repository.

Thanx,
Jaap
