Hello,

I'm currently writing a dissector which requires packet buffering to work. The 
dissector more or less has to brute-force the packet stream to find the actual 
data, but it needs at least a dozen packets of data before it can do anything. 
So, it doesn't know when the data begins, and how much data it needs (there is 
a maximum possible length though).

Is there any built-in support for this? I was able to store the tvb buffers 
into a circular buffer, but I'm not quite sure what to do with the packet_info 
structure (I may be wrong, but it didn't seem to be on the heap, so I couldn't 
just store the pointer to it).

Any help is appreciated!

Sincerely,
Andreas
