Hi,

In carefully going through and fixing packet_bxxp.c so that it works as I
expect it to, I am again reminded that capturing on the loopback interface
under Linux is a bad thing.

I am motivated to fix packet-tcp.c so that it can ignore duplicates segments.

This will involve keeping state on a per segment basis and an association.

However, I suspect that we should make this behaviour configurable with a
default of on.

Any comments?


Regards
