Hi List, Hi Richard,

Ther new TFTP dissector, couldnt that one use TCP reassembly?
Show the payload data, i.e. the entire file content in its own view. (with a
Save As...  menu item :-)


Ahhh, the proud parend :-)

TFTP uses UDP, and the protocol does not really handle UDP datagrams larger than 1500-8-...

So, I don't think it is relevant, at this point.


(As well as HTTP, etc etc)


HTTP should use reassembly, yes.
