I agree that the new feature should be a tap listener. The "follow tcp
stream" would be implemented as a tap listener if it was created today.
I think the idea is that the ability to execute a tap listener for the
specific session (that the user has already found a packet of) would be
useful regardless of which tcp tap listener (or tap-like feature) it is.
When more tcp tap listeners are created it might be useful to add
sub-options to "follow tcp stream"... items like "view payload as text",
"filter for session packets", "TCP trace (packetyzer)", "Retransmission
and Delay Statistics", etc...
While the same taps might be found elsewhere, it might be convenient to
have a less generic configuration interface for quick viewing of
information about the particular TCP session...
