Nowadays we see more and more the broadcasts as attached. Currently it's decoded as plain Data, which it obviously is not, it's readable text!
It's not just readable text, it looks like JSON :)
A quick peek at the IANA port list [1] shows it's Dropbox LanSync Discovery. So here's the project: CREATE A DISSECTOR FOR THE DROPBOX LANSYNC DISCOVERY PROTOCOL
I cheated a little and add support for heurestics to JSON dissector [1] :) Screenshot after disabling db-lsp-disc protocol: http://szara.chmurka.net/wireshark-json-dropbox.png So for people who want to play it should be a little easier now. However I can't find Dropbox LanSync Discovery protocol description, so I don't know if every packet is JSON. Cheers.
