Thanks Abhik,
I had a look at the first reference you mentioned, but it seemed to be too specific to TCP reassembly.
Have to admit that I did not read the chapter in the Developer's Guide, hmm, but I will read it thoroughly, now.

Betreff: Re: [Wireshark-dev] How to reassemble protocol running atop
udp?
Hi!
Something similar was discussed very recently:
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200707/msg00192.html
Also, this link might help:
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChDissectReassemble.html
The first example is for a UDP based protocol!
Best regards,
Abhik.

If yes, how are the fragments displayed in Wireshark? Could I build up a tvbuff without the header data to use it with the dissector for unfragmented data?
