Description

Currently, ndn.lua interprets each TCP segment individually. As a result, NDN packets crossing TCP segment boundary are lost, and subsequent TCP segment could be decoded incorrectly.
This issue is to register the Wireshark dissector on top of Wireshark's TCP stream reconstruction feature, so that TCP segments are joined together before decoding as NDN protocol.
Packet boundary guess would be necessary only when the packet capture does not include the start of a TCP stream.
