different compilers; here are some rules for writing code that will work
on multiple platforms.

convert between network byte order (big-endian) and *host* byte order,

routines such as "tvb_get_*_string()" are safer, as they allocate a buffer
large enough to hold the string. (Note that some variants of this call
require you to free the string once you're finished with it.)
You should test your dissector against incorrectly-formed packets. This
can be done using the randpkt and editcap utilities that come with the

to decode it as your protocol, e.g. if your protocol sits on top of UDP:

function names, so new code should probably use underscores rather than
