Hi all,
I would like to clarify this. I always get different values for number of retransmission and out-of-order packets from ethereal and tcptrace. Is the fix below will take care of my problem?
Is there a possibility in the future perhaps that ethereal will incorporate tcptrace analysis? Capture and analysis in one. I hope I'm not asking too much?
One more question, what is the difference between 0.99 version with the 0.10 version? I tried the ethereal page but I don't see any info on it..or maybe I miss it.
Last note, really appreciate the hard work you guys doing on improving ethereal and still keep it free.
Thanks.

There is a bug in bugzilla for
0.99 where ethereal mistakes real retransmissions as being out-of-order
which i will look at during the weekend.

Or, presumably, by looking at the TCP sequence number...

Not as far as I know - but the TCP analysis should handle OOO packets
correctly. For example, "TCP
Previous segment lost" should perhaps be
"TCP Previous segment lost or out of order".
Ronnie, when did the rewritten TCP analysis go in, and did it fix these
problems?

Sneak preview the
all-new Yahoo.com. It's not radically different. Just radically better.
