There is no guarantee of any particular outcome. It depends on the mechanism the dissectors use to register themselves, and the way those mechanisms happen to be implemented in any particular version of Wireshark. If you have improvements for a dissector, you should replace that dissector directly, and send us the improvements so we can put them into the main Wireshark release. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list Wireshark-dev@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list Wireshark-dev@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
