Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Feature request - TCP Retransmission labeling

[ListSrv <listsrv@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually I am implementing the retransmission-feature. It should identify:
-   retransmission number
-   the framenumber of the original frame
-   delta-time of previous retransmitted frame
There  is one issue that is waiting for distribute the feature:
A retransmission can be:
-   a real retransmission (SEQ is the same as in the original frame, de 
IP-identifer
   however is different)
-   a duplicated frame (SEQ en IP-identifer are the same, but the 
MAC-address is
    different but de TTL is dropping (e.g. there is a routing loop)
-   none of above (e.g. router-on-a-stick).

Therefore I have to access the MAC-frames from every source en retransmitted
frame. I have not figured that one out.....:(
