Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] updated JXTA dissector patch

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

From: Michael Duigou <ethereal@xxxxxxxxxx>

Yep, the previous patch isn't yet applied and already here's another version. Adds fancier dissection of message namespaces and element flags.

I've also got a couple of questions:

For fragmented UDP Messages I can't find a preference to reassemble the whole UDP message before it is passed to the dissector. How do I enable reassembly of UDP fragments?

Can anyone point me at a good sample for a heuristic tcp dissector? I'd like to add dissection of TCP streams, but am wondering how to "claim" a tcp stream which begins with JXTA's signature value. I've currently got a global preference for port numbers, but JXTA generally doesn't use fixed ports so I'd prefer to do it heuristically.

I'm also looking for a sample of dissection of a protocol which is running ontop of HTTP.
