Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Dissecting a Protocol with multiple static TCP ports

Chris,

So your saying to reassemble the packet then run the dissector again?
Is there a way that I can just specify the TCP Port range with just 2 port numbers?

Regards,
Craig

Craig,

You probably need to take a look at tcp_dissect_pdus().  If you're lucky, it'll help you reassemble your TCP stream; if not, you might need to write your own TCP reassembly routines.  There are many dissectors that make use of it for reassembly and it's documented in section 2.7.1 of README.developer, so hopefully you find plenty of help and examples about it.  Assuming that's what you need of course.

Bill,

The packets that are not decoded are decoded as TCP packets. So I don't understand why it only decodes the first one. I must be making a mistake in the code.

Craig

I don't see anything obviously wrong with the code.

A question: What is actually shown in Wireshark for the packets not
decoded ?

Are they decoded as TCP ? As some other protocol ?
