Some packets are quite big and won't
be transferred within a single TCP packet. So as far as I understand (I'm
really not a wireshark expert) I need TCP desegmentation.

there are 3 cases or let's say headers which could be within the stream:

Before going any further, I want to confirm that you do need TCP desegmentation
and that you can't deal with the packets one-by-one (probably with the
help of conversation tracking).
