Hi,

I am writing my first dissector and it needs to dissect a packet base on some 
information in previous packets.  The protocol also allows multiple of these 
stream mux together.  What is the best way to create a stateful dissector?  
From the dev guide, I notice there are two different mechanisms that is 
"stateful" - the tap and the "conversation".  From what I can tell, tap seems 
to be for post-processing of stats only.  So is the "conversation" mechanism 
the best way to implement a stateful dissector?  Did I miss any some other 
mechanism?

Regards,
Kenny Ho
