Simple question about conversation interface. I'm trying to pass data between 2 packets which are using 2 different dissector. Packets are not using same src/dst addresses so I'm "cheating" a little bit by setting a random src address which is the same for both dissector (dst address is discard). Then I'm using Thanks asked 26 Jun '14, 06:22  Afrim showing 5 of 6 show 1 more comments |

So you want to pass data between packet 1 proto x and say packet 5 proto y? How would the application using these protocols know they are related?
If you have some identifier you could have a hastable in say proto x and do a lookup.
Yes that's what I want to do. I also have identifier, in fact i have identifier but I can't use them because I don't know about a feature that allow me to do what I want.
Now if I create my hastable lets say in proto x, how do proto y know about this hashtable ?
Define a function to look up the data in proto x, export it and add a x.h file import that in proto y and call the lookup function.
Thanks you for your answer but it doesn't work. Exporting variable in proto x doesn't share the value of the variable in proto y.
Calling proto x from y with a,function dies not require the data to be exported...
I'm not trying to call proto x from proto y, i think we misunderstood.
I'm trying to share a variable from one plugin to another.
1 : I'm waiting, in both plugins, for a flag to be set. 2 : Once the flag is set, lets say in plugin 1, a value is stored to a variable which I use to compute something. The thing that I want to compute the same thing in plugin 2 so I need the value of this variable. 3 : So once I get the variable in plugin 1 I want to share this one to plugin 2.
That's it. Sorry if it's not clear enough yet.
