Sorry I never ended up replying. You are correct, in protobuf you have field numbers ( and I have to admit what I commented has been a number of years ago by now my knowledge is crusty ). Usually when doing this type of work, as I was doing, is to reverse some protocol. It didn't make me hate the format though; many protocols I had reversed in the past were vastly more complicated to decode and understand without having field names. If you ever want to melt your brain get into RTMP decoding :3
