Guy Harris 8a9b35cb5e From Anand V. Narwani:
DOCSIS support, including support for "Ethernet" captures where
	    the raw frame is a DOCSIS frame rather than an Ethernet
	    frame (some Cisco cable-modem head-end gear can send out a
	    trace of all traffic on an Ethernet, but what it sends are
	    the raw bytes of DOCSIS frames, not Ethernet frames)

Get rid of second AUTHORS entry for Devin Heitmueller, merging its item
into the older entry.

Clean up the order of some lists of plugin items.

Overview:
=========
The dissectors provided by this plugin allow the dissection of DOCSIS 1.1
Frames. Captures of DOCSIS 1.1 frames can be facilitated using Cisco's
Cable Monitor Features found on Cicso UBR7200 and UBR10000 Series Cable Modem
Termination Systems.
Features:
=========
+ Decode the DOCSIS header + Extended Header. For Data PDU's it will
automatically decode as far up the stack that it can.
+ Decode Mac Management Header. The following Mac Messages
are decoded at present:
REG-REQ
REG-RSP
REG-ACK
RNG-REQ
RNG-RSP
UCC-REQ
UCC-RSP
UCD Messages
MAP Messages
DSA-REQ
DSA-RSP
DSA-ACK
DSC-REQ

DSD-REQ

BPKM Attributes
+ Decode All Appendix C TLV's
+ Decode Concatenated Frames via a recursive call to dissect_docsis()
