Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Reassembly with many (small) fragments is very slow

[Biot Olivier <Olivier.Biot@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Although packet (tvbuffer) reassembly is extremely valuable (invaluable to
be honest), it is painstakingly slow when many fragments have to be
reassembled. Maybe it is time to invest some time at doing code profiling
dedicated to reassembly?

Maybe we should free smaller tvbuffers and allocate only a large,
reassembled tvbuffer in which slemmer ones point?

Regards,

Olivier
