OK, I'm assuming you're referring to

        http://www.vssmonitoring.com/customers/time_stamping.asp

so this is similar to, for example, what I infer the Gigamon people are doing (see epan/dissectors/packet-gmhdr.c).

However, the description given there seems to indicate that it's not done the same way the Gigamon people do it - it 
just adds, between the end of the packet payload and the CRC, a trailer with the time stamp information, without 
changing the headers or payload.  *That* cannot be handled with a dissector plugin; it would require modifications at 
the capture level.
