When analyzing a log from a long RTSP streaming run on a bad network with a lot
of packet loss, it looks as if the sequence error count never recovers after
the sequence number reaches the maximum sequence number and starts over. In the
case shown in the attachment, the reporting of sequence errors looks alright up
until sequence 61. After that, sequence 62 arrives but Wireshark does not
recognize that as the correct sequence number. All packets after that are
tagged with "Wrong sequence nr.", which results in a large sum of sequence
errors.
