This shows the expanded packets with data using SSL.

Build Information:
Version 1.10.5 (SVNRev 54262 from /trunk-1.10)

I have been trying troubleshoot a problem involving FTPS (SSL/TLS). The file
transfer was taking extraordinary long time to complete.

I had been taking sniffer traces from IBM z/OS 1.13 using NBA Pilot. This
invoke Wireshark. I then create PCAP to feed into Inside the Stack, where I can
generate reports. One of them is SSL Problem Finder. It indicated that there
were 5 Hello Clients.

The IBM z/OS 1.13 is acting as client using job. It is trying to do FTPS with
server that is written by business partner using Linux platform.

I expect to see 2. The 1st is part of initial connection to Control Port. The
2nd is the result of doing Passive and connecting to the Data Port at server.

Why would I then see 3 additional Hello Client while the data transfer is going
on?

I looked at sniffer trace in question. I opened with Wireshark and went to
those packets. I saw that they were then being reported as Hello Client.

I opened ticket with IBM about this. The following is their response:

Sorry, please ignore the previous update.  I was composing it then   
   accidentally hit the Enter button.                                   

   What I meant to say was that frame numbers 50029, 51355, and 63129 in
   the large sniffer trace (session between port 5565 and 3088) are all 
   encrypted data packets (not hellos) because they carry these sequence
   of bytes:  1703010015.  If this was a hello packet, it would start   
   with this sequence of bytes: 160301xxxx01.                           

   To illustrate, here's what you see in frame number 50029:

   You should see sequence 1703010015 several times from the excerpt    
   above, which indicates that they're all SSL data messages, not       
   hellos.                                                              

Unfortunately the sniffer trace is quite large. This is because the file to be
transferred was 1.83 million bytes but over 47 million bytes got transferred.
The total number of packets was almost 70k.

I am attaching print of the 3 packets in question.
