Then what you'd want to do if you see a login packet is to create a
conversation for the source and destination addresses and ports (I'm
assuming this is TCP rather than UDP, so you don't get requests from IP
address C to IP address S1 and replies coming back to IP address C from
IP address S2), and make the netlib dissector be the conversation
dissector for that conversation.
