Hi,
Lets assume tcp_dissect_pdus() works as expected (if not that's a
separate issue).

If you look at the code in the diameter dissector:
static guint
get_diameter_pdu_len(tvbuff_t *tvb, int offset)
{
  /* Get the length of the Diameter packet. */
  return tvb_get_ntoh24(tvb, offset + 1);
}

static int
dissect_diameter(tvbuff_t *tvb, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree *tree)
{
  if (!check_diameter(tvb))
	return 0;
  dissect_diameter_common(tvb, pinfo, tree);
  return tvb_length(tvb);
}

static void
dissect_diameter_tcp(tvbuff_t *tvb, packet_info *pinfo, proto_tree
*tree)
{
  tcp_dissect_pdus(tvb, pinfo, tree, gbl_diameter_desegment, 4,
	get_diameter_pdu_len, dissect_diameter_common);
} /* dissect_diameter_tcp */

Your corresponding code would be something like:
 
tcp_dissect_pdus(tvb, pinfo, tree, gbl_diameter_desegment, 6 + "length
of length parameter",...
get_diameter_pdu_len Should fetch the length parameter
check_diameter() Should check for the "55's" 

The Fifth parameter to tcp_dissect_pdus()(4 in the example) is the
minimum length required to determine the full length of the PDU.
Which in this case is the number of bytes required to get and including
the length parameter. 
Best regards
Anders

I can determine the *message* length only when i have already the
complete header.
Immagine if I capture a multiple message packet and immagine it is
fragmented in a point after the end of the ultimate complete message and
before the mesageLenght field of the broken message:

              |<-----------------myMsg------------------->|
...|---------+------- -+----+------------+--------+--||---+
...|tcpHeader|5555555 5|0000|mesageLenght|messgeId|details|
...|---------+------- -+----+------------+--------+--||---+
                      ^Fragmentation

I can't understand how much byte I have to take to complete the PDU.
