Hi,
I have some tcp packets which i am analysing using wireshark and tcptrace.
The results shown by the two are totaly different.
The tcptrace shows no out of order packets where as wireshark shows out of order packets.

The packets are captured with some virtual router where there is a lot of retransmissions.
Can someone please help me understand why there is a difference in the results shown by the 2 ?

Thanks,
Himzi
