Wirdigen turns a declarative description of a network protocol into a Wireshark dissector.
Protocol Description: The document a user writes to describe one protocol: its identity, how Wireshark should recognise its traffic, and the layout of its payload. Avoid: Package, packet description, message description, dissector description
Field: One named element of a Protocol Description's payload layout, with a type and display settings. Avoid: Data chunk, data, attribute
Dissector: The Wireshark Lua plugin generated from a Protocol Description. Avoid: Plugin, LUA file
