I have a single TCP connection in which one side is sending a lot of bytes.
(Reading from NFS server)  Eventually TCP sequence number rolls over.

The dissector does not understand that the rollover is normal,
and incorrectly identifies the packets after the rollover as retransmissions.


In the trace I will attach:
Problem:
  TCP sequence number rollover.  TCP dissector thinks it is seeing a
retransmission.

  Error: Reassembly error, protocol TCP:    New fragment overlaps old data
(retransmission?)


Thank you.
