Hi Abhik,
  Mate seems like the solution I am looking for.

I cannot find the dialog where I configure the <protocol>.mate file. As per the 
Mate's "Getting Started" page there should be a "(Edit->)* Preferences->mate" 
dialog. However, I do not see such an option with wireshark 1.2.8. 

Things I have already tried:
1. Maybe this option has been moved to another location on the UI, but I've 
spent 30 min. of searching on the UI.
2. Grep'ed the gtk directory for "mate" to see if I can trace the dialogs.
3. I ensured that I checked "Mate" during the install, and it is listed in 
"About->Plugin" as well.



1. Can someone help me configure wieshark to use the sample tcp.mate as listed 
on the "Getting stated" page?
2. Is there a default directory which is used to source *.mate files?

thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,

I think what you are looking for is MATE (http://wiki.wireshark.org/Mate).

The relation between packets is as follows.

1. Packet A is a request to setup a session. This packet has a unique "request 
tunnel Identifier" and a "requestIndex".
2. Packet B is a reply, this packet is tunneled with the "request tunnel 
Identifier" and contains a "reply tunnel Identifier"

3. Packet C is subsequent request packet which is tunneled with "reply tunnel 
Identifier"
4. Packet D is a subsequent reply packet which is tunneled with "request tunnel 
Identifier".

NOTE: "tunnel Identifier" are unique in a single direction only, so there is no 
algorithmic correlation between the "request tunnel Identifier" and "reply 
tunnel Identifier".


I am looking to generate a view for all packets which are related to the 
"requestIndex".
I am open to the idea of editing the dissectors to achieve this. 

Any ideas/pointers would be very useful.


thanks,
Rohit
