I am writing a dissector (my first try) and I would like to get at the underlying TCP header of each packet I dissect (specifically the acknowledgement number).
In what way would your dissector use this information? Implementations of the protocol your dissector is dissecting cannot, on most if not all OSes, see the ack number, as TCP just presents to protocol implementations running atop it a sequenced data stream, with no TCP segment boundaries or sequence or acknowledgment numbers visible. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
