Reassembly without Byte or Fragment Alignment

I've searched for hours, but I can't seem to find an example which pertains to my specific scenario involving reassembly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am writing a custom dissector for a protocol (let's call it protocol A) which sits on top of Ethernet. Protocol A is rather simple. It is responsible for transporting data it knows almost nothing about. The header for protocol A includes a sequence number, has a constant header and payload length, does not perform any type of re-transmission.

Here is an example Protocol A packet:

--Sequence Number (first 2 bytes)

--Payload (remaining 100 bytes)

(total of 102 bytes)

Packets of Protocol B are contained in the payload portion of a Protocol A packet. All packets of Protocol B are either 100, 200, or 300 bytes in length. All packets of protocol B contain a well known 4 byte starting flag. Here is an example of a Protocol B packet.

--Starting flag (4 bytes) 0x11223311 (for 96 byte data section), 0x11223322 (for 196 byte data section), or 0x11223333 (for 296 byte data section)

--Data (96, 196, or 296 bytes)

Packets of Protocol B can start ANYWHERE within the payload of a Protocol A packet (any bit within the Protocol A packet)

I would like to reassemble a Protocol B packet and hand it off to a Protocol B dissector. I've seen two main ways of performing reassembly:

1) using fragment_add_check() when a PDU ID and an offset (offset within reassembled PDU of first byte of payload) are known, and the last fragment is specifically marked.

2) using fragment_add_seq_check() when a PDU ID and sequence number are known, and the last fragment is specifically marked.

In both of these cases, process_reassembled PDU is used to get a complete PDU.

The problem I'm running into is that although I have a pattern to look for to know when one PDU ends and another begins (the Protocol B starting flag 0x11223311, 0x11223322, or 0x11223333), it is possible that the starting flag is split between two protocol A packets.

Is there a way to grab previous packet data or to get access to a partially reassembled packet so I can search for the pattern I'm looking for (to mark the end of the previous Protocol B PDU and the beginning of the next Protocol B pdu?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
