Hi,
I've tried to define conversations for a proprietary Ethernet protocol that we've implemented. It's just a certain ethernet type code that we use for testing purposes.
Now we'd like to have some analysis on this, e.g. to follow 'conversations' and to display graphs with RTT and so.
I thought that we could use the 'Follow TCP Stream' and 'TCP Stream Analysis' options in the 'Tools' menu if conversations were defined in our dissector (with conversation_new() and find_conversation() ), but appearantly this is not so. 

What would I have to do to be able to use these options ?
What is the use of conversations if not for following (TCP) streams ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Marc
