As per the confusion showing up here:

It seems that the "DNS Statistics" displays results from all name resolution
protocols (e.g. LLMNR), and not just DNS. This is confusing, because users will
expect the stats to be only about the port 53 stuff. 

It would be better (not to say "correct") to name the statistics (in menu and
form caption) something like "Name Resolution statistics", which makes it more
clear. That way users can realize on their own that the filter field at the
bottom can be used to limit the protocols down to what they really want to see.

See attached screenshot for an example of 4 DNS packets in the capture, but 12
shown in the statistics.
