> Is there a way to set Wireshark to not count the broken out frames from a Docsis concatenated frame? Just to try to be more clear, I see a Concatenated Frame #1 which contains two concatenated packets. Then Wireshark shows those 2 packets with frame numbers #2 and #3. Hope this makes sense.

If by "frame number" you mean the frame number column, that is intended to be the ordinal number of the lowest-level frames in the capture file.  We could probably add to the DOCSIS dissector a field corresponding to reassembled frame numbers, and you could use that as a custom column.
