Richard Achmatowicz commented on JGRP-324:
------------------------------------------

Some progress has been made on this issue to date:

(i) worked through a Wireshark tutorial on writing a dissector and produced a small working example. Based on looking at other examples, it appears that this will be an adequate template for the JGroups dissector.

(ii)  the first task is to write dissectors for the lowest level protocols, UDP and TCP. Once those are working, add in dissectors for higher level layers. The key difficulty in writing a dissector is discovering the precide format of messages (UDP, TCP, FC, FD,...) and their contents. This has been done for UDP, by looking through the UDP.java sources, and Bela has pointed me to documents in the distribution where others may be found. I have been asked to maintain a record of these formats as they will be useful for future reference.
