Hello

Once again I have a problem with our firm protocol.

It's a RFB based protocol running on TCP. 

To dissect the PDU I need the length of it, put the Problem is The length is
encoded at the end of the PDU. 
Because the length is chancing for each Video PDU I need a possibility To
get dissect without knowing the length.
Or is there a possibility to continue with the Next TCP packet if I Realize
the end of the Video PDU is not reached?

Thx for answering and a merry Christmas to all who also had to work.
