Just for information:
A student of mine is working on reassembly for SCTP. After it is done it will
be integrated into ethereal.

Best regards

Log:
UDP and SCTP aren't byte-stream protocols, so they don't offer TCP- style
 reassembly.  UDP has no notion of reassembly - that's done at the IP
 layer - and SCTP has its own notions of reassembly which it currently
 doesn't provide.  As such, TCP-style reassembly isn't possible for
 JXTA-over-UDP or JXTA-over-SCTP.

As for TCP, a heuristic dissector for a TCP-based protocol can't request
 more data if it's rejecting a packet; make it not do so.  That should
fix the recent buildbot crash, although there are still some reassembly problems with that capture (c05-http-reply-r1.pcap.gz in the menagerie
 and on the SampleCaptures page of the Wiki) that aren't fixed yet.
