Hi Omar,

here are the options to figure out the name of the protocol for wireshark

1.) Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols and search for something that contains
OML, Abis, A-bis in the name. (Actually it is A-bis OML and sorts at the top).

2.) You can look at the dissector sourcecode and search for
'register_dissector'. It normally comes at the bottom of the dissector
sourcecode. The string is the dissector name.

3.) the convention of epan appears to be packet-FOO.c where FOO is the
protocol name. In your case this would be 'gsm_abis_oml'. Wireshark has nice
completion in the filter bar. By just typing 'g' for GSM it will show you all
GSM protocols it knows, it should list gsm_abis_oml.
