To which sequence number analysis are you referring?
I was referring to the analysis the results of which show up in the protocol tree, which is the one that detects retransmissions, duplicate ACKs, etc.; that code is link-layer independent, as it's done in the dissector.
It sounds as if you're talking about the TCP graphs, which aren't link-layer independent (and which should be redone as a tap to make it link-layer independent).
