Moving stuff to frame_data is something that should only be done as a last resort if it's being done as part of a project to reduce memory usage. :-) *Every packet in a capture* has a frame_data structure and, at least in one test, the memory for frame_data structures was a significant contributor to Wireshark's memory usage; overall, we want to make that structure *smaller*, not *bigger. > The key to the reassembled_table is (framenum, ID).

There can be more than one higher-level packet inside a frame (just as a higher-level packet can require more than one lower-level frame), so, no, the frame number is not necessarily unique. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
