Description

A simple Wireshark dissector would be nice for evaluating Mosh network-level issues. I'm just thinking of something simple that handles the non-encrypted headers-- a full decrypting dissector would be neat but a fair bit of work to implement (quite a bit less than a full Mosh implementation though).

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Begin by locating Mosh's protocol and non-encrypted header handling, then review Wireshark dissector guidance. Done means a dissector can decode the non-encrypted headers for evaluating Mosh network-level issues; full decryption is explicitly out of scope.
