Hi,

 

I approach this question in two steps.

 

Step 1: generate TCP segments

I tried to use command

>tethereal –r <infile> -n –o tcp.desegment_tcp_streams:rue –w <outfile>

 

On a Fedora machine to create TCP segments. The command itself is valid, however the result is not I expected. Because the outfile still contains the whole payload data in one packet, and I expected to see it’s truncated into several segments.

 

Step 2: I don’t know if it’s able to send out out-of-order TCP segments using Ethereal? If not, is there a quick way to utilize the Ethereal code to do so?

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

Wei
