hi , thanks .
it seems to be working , but only when i raise the flag "pinfo->can_desegment=1  "  inside the get_len method .
but i noticed that the TCP checksum test fails in all the reassembled packets .
why is that ?
actually it also fails when i send the whole message in one buffer ...
so its probably a different issue . . .
 

thanks

It's the offset into the tvbuff handed to the get_len routine of the
first byte of the packet whose length should be returned.

Presumably the PDUs consist of a 2-byte length field (in network byte
order?) followed by that number of bytes of data, and, in the get_len
routine, you fetch the length value from the packet, add 2 to it, and
return that value.
