Hello,
Is there a way to distinguish multiple frames of the same protocol
in one TCP/IP packet? I have several small AMQP frames which all fit
into a single IP frame, so they share a single packet_info
structure.When I call p_add_proto_data() for the second AMQP frame,
it (obviously) overwrites data stored for the first frame, so I need
to distibguish between them somehow.
Is there a counter that would tell me "this is a third AMQP frame in
this pinfo"? I found packet_info->curr_layer_num, but this is useful
for nested frames (like IP in IP). Is there something similar for
groupped frames, please?
Hi Peter,
I'm not sure we have such counter, but
https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/c/10579/ suggested the use of
tvb_raw_offset as key for p_(add|get)_proto_data() functions which seems
a good tradeoff.
Actually there is such a counter in frame_data: subnum. But it's not widely used: for now it's only used in EPL, RRC, and UMTS_FP.
Thanks for the hint Jeff (I did not know this one).
It appears that frame_data.c is only setting it to 0, and that increment need to be handled directly by dissectors. So it means that for a wider usage, (tcp|udp)_dissect_pdus() function (among others) should
be modified so as to increment it when calling a new subdissector.
