Re: Index of multiple protocol frames in one packet?

Hello,

Is there a way to distinguish multiple frames of the same protocol in one
TCP/IP packet? I have several small AMQP frames which all fit into a single
IP frame, so they share a single packet_info structure.When I call
p_add_proto_data() for the second AMQP frame, it (obviously) overwrites
data stored for the first frame, so I need to distibguish between them
somehow.

Is there a counter that would tell me "this is a third AMQP frame in this
pinfo"? I found packet_info->curr_layer_num, but this is useful for nested
frames (like IP in IP). Is there something similar for groupped frames,
please?


Hi Peter,

I'm not sure we have such counter, but
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/10579/ suggested the use of
tvb_raw_offset as key for p_(add|get)_proto_data() functions which seems a
good tradeoff.

Best regards,
Pascal.
