Hi,

I am generating some UDP traffic to be inserted into an Oracle database
and I noticed that there is a mismatch of data between the "ethereal"
dump file and tables in Oracle.  That is, the value of  "source port"
for any of the UDP packets in the ethereal dump file is always 1 less
than the value for the "source port" for the same packet in the Oracle
database.  As an example, "source port" in ethereal for a particular UDP
packet is 11654 and the value for "source port" for the same packet in
the Oracle database is 11653.  The same is true for the "checksum" of
each UDP packet.  I'm not sure if this is a problem with our software,
an issue with ethereal or if it's even a problem at all.  Any input
would be a big help.

Thanks,
