Thanks Jaap,
I will prepare a version without the columns (the dissectors right now populates the new fields added to the packet_info structure) and submit the code through the bug report mechanism.

Hi,

Best file two bug reports at https://bugs.wirehsark.org:
1. New RTPS dissector
2. New RTPS2 dissector
Explain what you've written here, and since they are complete rewrites / new
attach the complete files (apart from the Makefile.common patch of course).

About the column I'm not sure. We're reluctant to add columns for every
imaginable protocol field out there since this will explode. We're created the
option of custom column, so if you can make sure that a simple display filter
expression matches RTPS GUID (like rtps.guid maybe?) then a custom column will do.

Thanx,
Jaap
