It seems like there might not be a "solve all" solution to the cases
listed, it also seems to me like there is a need for several flavors of
"conversation"
Such as the 5 tuple we have today for stuff like "decode as" and
possibly other protocol data stored by the protocols running on the
transport protocol and
A configurable(?) "conversation" type taking "wire" into consideration
used for reassembly TCP analysis response times etc.


We *do* want a "Decode As" that applies to a conversation (i.e., which
doesn't change the dissector table, it just changes the per-conversation
dissector setting), but we don't have it yet, as far as I know, so
presumably you're referring to the way that feature would work.

Are you saying here that if the problem is that we're seeing both sides
of routing, so that you have two (or more) copies of the same packet in the
capture, you would still want, for example, both instances of a given TCP
connection dissected as the selected protocol, but would want TCP
reassembly taking place separately on both instances?

Yes, when conversation is set up from say the SDP dissector for the
upcoming rtp flow we will not know on which wire it will appear.
