Hi,

I was thinking about the use of per-frame data and associations, and
realized that one can do some interesting things ...

For example, because interesting info is collected in the first pass
through the frames, one could apply that to the tree on subsequent passes.

Eg, with, say an SMTP capture, one could stash the From: and To: address
info in the conversation associated with a stream, and then it could be
added to each frame as a hidden field, and filtered on. This would require
a rescan though.

I will have to write up some stuff on using conversations and per-frame
data together.

Regards
