* Wireshark/Tshark 2.0.5 (RHEL Linux, Windows 7)

* Problem Summary:
  iSCSI Display Filter does not return iSCSI Read responses corresponding to
  certain iSCSI Read requests, when preference tcp.desegment_tcp_streams is
FALSE.


* Problem Details:
  + If:
    a TCP segment contains multiple iSCSI Read requests,
    i.e. contains multiple iscsi.initiatortasktag, AND
    tcp.desegment_tcp_streams is FALSE,

    Then:
    the display filter for Response will NOT return the corresponding
    iSCSI Read responses.

  + This problem is observed for both Wireshark & Tshark.


* Traffic:
  + iSCSI (TCP)
  + MTU=1500
  + Sequential Read(64K), OIO=16
  + 1 TCP connection
  + 1 LUN
  + time=30sec

* Packet capture
  + Inline optical tap
  + SolarFlare
  + Full packet

* Preferences
  + File attached

  + Pref: tcp.sesegment_tcp_streams: *FALSE*
    Bug only observed when this is FALSE.

  + Pref: iscsi.desegment_iscsi_messages: TRUE (default)

* Display Filter
  + [iSCSI Read Request]

     (iscsi.scsicommand.expecteddatatransferlength > 512) &&

  + [iSCSI Read Response]
    ((iscsi.opcode==0x25) &&
