Hi Anders,
I'm not sure the regular reassembling algo presented in README is good for
me because my fragment do not come in sequence.
That is I can receive fragment of packet 2 between 2 fragment of packet 1.
That is why I'm wondering if my algorithm below is correct and especially
the way I use composite buffer. Is this the general spirit?
/* Fragment receipt */
tvb_memcpy(tvb,data,offset,length)
frag_buf=tvb_new_real_data(data,length,reported_length)
Add frag_buf to global fragrment list
/* Upon receiption of the last fragment */
pckt_buf=tvb_new_composite ( void )
For each frag_buf of same PDU in global fragrment list {
tvb_composite_append(pckt_buf,frag_buf)
}
/* Then I call my dissector on the reassembled packet. */
tvb_set_child_real_data_tvbuff(tvb, next_tvb);
add_new_data_source(pinfo, next_tvb, "Complete PDU");
MyDissector(next_tvb)
/* Do I need to free next_tvp? */
free(next_tvb);
Regards
Fabien
