Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Bug 1847: TCP ACK analysis incorrect

From: "Maynard, Chris" <Christopher.Maynard@xxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2007 16:03:20 -0400
FYI: Bug 1847 submitted:
http://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1847

The subject I gave it was "TCP Duplicate ACK's not being marked as such
in "Expert Info".", but I realized afterwards that that might be
somewhat confusing.  Although that does occur, I think the root of the
problem is that the PSH flag is incorrectly being taken into account
when determining a duplicate ACK or not.

Anyway, I tried to explain the situation as best as I could in the bug
report and included a small capture file with my own explanation of what
I believe is going on.  Hopefully things are clear enough.  I can post
additional captures if needed.
