Description

In its current implementation, the PCAP parser fails with an exception if it encounters a protocol it does not have in its enumerated list. 

This is not an acceptable strategy in that there are many protocols out there and having Drill crash when it encounters an unknown protocol is not helpful or useful.  This minor PR makes the PCAP plugin more fault tolerant.
