[Michael Tuexen <Michael.Tuexen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guy,

I missed to commit that file...

however this brings up a question I raised before but did not get an 
answer.
If a tap needs port numbers and addresses of a packet should these be
provided by the data passed to the tap or should the tap code get the
data from the pinfo variable?

Another question related to the last commit:

What is a 'conversation'?
For TCP a conversation seems to be a TCP connection. But what is a 
conversation
for SCTP? An SCTP association (=connection) has one port number on each 
side (like
TCP) but a list of IP-addresses. So does one SCTP association with n 
and m addresses
at each side correspond to one conversation or n*m conversations?

Best regards
Michael
