You're talking about the French rugby team?
Well, that i'm working in France doesnt mean i'm French ;-)
I dont understand anything about rugby. I prefer soccer.
(I'm from the nation which's soccer team is world champion. Well..., the
*female* team that is) :-)

Agreed.

Yes, but after what i thought, tap listeners dont necessarily need the proto
tree being built, so why *always* building the proto tree, even if its only
a tap listener that requested the redissection?
Shouldnt there be some option to redissect_packets that says "dont care
about the proto tree in this run"
That's all what my point is about.
