Hi, guys.

I'm adding support for CAN messages over IEEE1722 control frames. What is the best way to decode CAN message and payload?

Up to now I have found the following approaches:
- like in packet-caneth.c, adding fake "can.flags.xxx" to the list of protocol fields and explicit using "can.subdissectors" table.
- using the composite tvb to combine real payload with a fake socketcan header.

The first approach has failed for me because during commit i have several errors like the following: "can.flags.rtr doesn't match PROTOABBREV of ieee1722".

But the second approach seems a bit unnatural for me.

What would you suggest?

Best regards,
Dmitriy Linikov.
