Short version: In my Lua dissector I think I need to be able to uniquely identify packets, but pinfo.number is not unique; is there any other way to get an unique identifier for a packet?
Long version: I'm writing a dissector for a custom protocol. This protocol multiplexes multiple logcal streams through one websocket stream, an each of these individual streams is deflated with zlib, using it's own individual zlib state. My dissector identifies the streams and inflates the packets on the first dissection pass, storing the deflated data in a global Lua table. On successive calls to .dissect(), I need to be able to find the appropriate inflated data for each packet, and dissect it further from there. The problem is that I need a solid way to recognize and identify the individual packets. "pinfo.number" is not enough, so for now I use a concationation of pinfo and a has of the tvb data; unfortunately this is rather heavy and still not quite solid and I have occasional false negatives in my lookup. Is there a better way to uniquely identify individual pinfo packets?
