Hi,

I wrote some dissectors using C/C++ in the past. Some of the
(proprietary) protocols based on TCP use a protocol negotiation that
result in different protocol variants. These variants are incompatible
without respecting the protocol variant. For that purpose it was very
helpful to identify a conversation in a TCP connection.

Unfortunately conversations are not supported yet for LUA dissectors
(Bug 15396 <https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15396>).
Unfortunately the bug was rated with "low importance". How can I
convince the development team to give more attention? Is there any
workaround?

Best regards,
Helge
