That may be an issue. Try disabling TCP checksum validation in the preferences for TCP.

By default, TCP reassembly will ignore all packets with a checksum failure or "short" packets. (i.e. packets captures with a snaplen smaller than the ethernet mtu)

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.
