Well…..

 

From Dictionary.com:

 

dis·sect       (dĭ-sěkt', dī-, dī'sěkt')  Pronunciation Key 
tr.v.   dis·sect·ed, dis·sect·ing, dis·sects

1. To cut apart or separate (tissue), especially for anatomical study.
2. To examine, analyze, or criticize in minute detail: dissected the plan afterward to learn why it had failed. See Synonyms at analyze.

 

 

As for Packet Bytes, this is what is contained in the payload of the packet.

 

For some knowledge about TCP packet structures:

Hope this helps….Les
