I have FOO
protocol which registered as "udp.port" == 333 for example.
 
I want to write GOO
protocol which should be registered as "foo.num" == 444.
 
I had add register_dissector_table("foo.num",
"FOO NUMBER", FT_UINT16, BASE_DEC); to proto_register_m2ou function, but it doesn't help - goo dissector doesn't accessed.
What is missing?
 
 
It was a
technique we used previously to rotate between different
buffers without having to use g_malloc/g_free buffers.
Since there might be multiple UDP layers within one and the same
packet (UDP over UDP) we used this as a cheap method to make sure that
two or more consecutive calls to the UDP dissector would use different
buffers.
I have changed the udp dissector now to use the "modern" way to
manage
short lived buffers that need not be explicitely freed using
ep_alloc() instead.
