Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Question about tcp window scaling value

From: Douglas Wood <doug.wood@xxxxxxxx>

In Wireshark 1.4.2, export to PDML from tshark sometimes results in a different value for tcp window size compared to doing the same export from the Wireshark GUI.  The different value reflects multiplying the tcp window value with the current window scaling size for tshark and not taking window scaling into account for Wireshark.

Is this a bug?  If not, how can I tell the difference between the two outputs?  I'd rather not write code that cares if tshark generated the output or Wireshark.
