That's

right?
If so, and if you're reassembling the packets in a burst transfer, this isn't a byte stream, so you can ignore the TCP dissector, and look instead at the IP dissector for an example. It's not *quite* the same as IP, as
1) you have sequence numbers rather than byte offsets, so you'd use fragment_add_seq_check() rather than fragment_add_check();
2) the sequence number wraps around, so you'd have to keep some state and provide a "synthesized" sequence number that doesn't wrap around.
