Hello

I've got a sample capture file which contains a set of TCP segments.
These TCP segments have a sequence number in their corresponding header
field. This sequence number seems to be a 32-bit random value. If I open
the sample capture file with Ethereal, these sequence numbers appear as
logical sequence numbers (such as 0, 17, etc.). Anybody know how
Ethereal obtain these logical sequence numbers?

Regards, Víctor
