Hi, What's your transport protocol? Thanks, Jaap On Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:29:42 +0300 (EEST), andreas.akesson () kolumbus fi wrote:
Hello, I'm currently writing a dissector which requires packet buffering to work. The dissector more or less has to brute-force the packet stream to find the actual data, but it needs at least a dozen packets of data before it can do anything. So, it doesn't know when the data begins, and how much data it needs (there is a maximum possible length though). Is there any built-in support for this? I was able to store the tvb buffers into a circular buffer, but I'm not quite sure what to do with the packet_info structure (I may be wrong, but it didn't seem to be on the heap, so I couldn't just store the pointer to it). Any help is appreciated! Sincerely, Andreas
