How often will a dissector be started at loading a pcap-file?
Hey, I'm writing a lua dissector for UDP traffic. When I load a pcap file, the dissector is started 3 times for every packet and every time I select a packet the dissector is started for this one.
Running the dissector when you select a packet makes sense to me to save memory and not save all information all the time. But why Wireshark starts the dissector 3 times after loading the pcap file?
