 Then how should we proceed? Can Guy allocate us a DLT or must we send a 
request to someone?

Fine with me.

Yes that's what I meant. I think we should tap the packet at the beginning of 
the dissection and not at the end as it is currently done in the SIP dissector. 
I see two advantages:
- packet x+y will be tapped before packet y and not the opposite (I find it 
awkward to have packet y displayed before packet x+y)
- a malformed packet will still be tapped

Pascal.
