Hi,

I am analyzing a dump file using Wireshark and I found that some of the TCP messages that are sent again (with the same ACK) number are labelled as TCP Out of Rrder by Wireshark. I was expecting to find them labelled as retransmission messages. Is there a reason why the packets are labelled out of order instead of re transmission?

Thanks,
Ajay
