Best way to give configuration information to a protocol

Hi all,

Which is the best way to pass configuration to a protocol? Do we have any
builtin mechanisms? I tried to upload a patch using CSV at some point but
it didn't succeed. So I wonder if there is any recommended way I can
implement: table or list in the Preferences, XML file, CSV file...

My goal is to pass ("*GUID*", "*plugin_name*") pairs to the RTPS protocol
so Wireshark knows dynamically what plugin it should call to deserialize
data that is written by the DataWriter with id = "GUID". The GUID is part
of the DATA packet and it is already dissected and known at that point.

Thanks,
Juanjo Martin
