Currently the -T option is the only resort at the IP layer and UDP layer.
It could apply to TCP too, perhaps.

It would be nice to have a way for each ULP decoders to register their
name so that it's not so switch() stmt based, and then to have a file
which can be provided to map multiple ports at the same time.
