Greetings,

I am running 'tethereal' sniffing traffic between two routers, one of which
is receiving a full routing table ( 130K prefixes ). The routers are
connected via an Ethernet
hub. The dissector is working correctly by decoding bgp in each frame
starting with the marker ( 10 bytes of 0xFFs ). So far so good ...

When a router blasts many prefixes, as is the case above, each Ethernet
frame is filled with the maximum number of BGP update messages. Usually the
frame
cannot contain an integral number of update messages, and a portion of the
last update in the frame spills into the beginning of the next frame.

Now the question, and sorry for the pre-amble ... Is there any way of
stitching together, in real-time, the full un-interrupted BGP update message
stream using
the current version of tethereal?

Advanced thanks,

Alex
