the taps do not provide access to the actual payload

What would a UDP tap do with the payload? Is this for something suchas "Follow TCP Stream"?

(It would be inappropriate for a UDP tap to try to interpret thepayload as a particular type of packet - the dissector for that typeof packet should have a tap and a tap that only wants to process thattype of packet should use *that* tap.)
