If looking at the tcp analysis code   do look at the recent svn
version and none of the released versions.

the tcp analysis and reassembly code has
recently been completely rewritten and should be much much easier to
read and understand now compared to the previous version.

though it has not had very extensive testing yet  the new tcp code
should be in significantly better shape than the older code.

So if I were to ever actually find the time to study the TCP sequence
analysis code (which detects retransmissions, associates acks with the
acked data, etc.) in the hopes of doing something similar in SCTP, is
there anything I should know about the TCP code?  Any known deficiencies
or things that could be done better?

(Of course I'm probably kidding myself that I'll ever find the time, but
I keep getting confused by retransmissions that I didn't notice were
retransmissions the first N times I looked at them.)
