thanks for chiming in!
As a long time user of the AFP dissector I know that it handles
multiple conversations right. ;)
It's just the first time that I start to make substantial enhancements
to the dissector. Alas, I picked a tough target for a starter: AFP is
completely documented by Apple besided one singel AFP call
FPSpotlightRPC. So I've got to reverse engineer it which turns out to
be a tough task ask the packets are complicated.
Cheers, Frank!
