Hi to all, I would like to know if there's a way to distinguish between the ACK packet sent during the connection establishment phase of a TCP connection and subsequent ACK packets sent during the data transfer phase. I now that the ACK number sent during the connection establishment will be 'sequence number will be equal to the 'sequence number for the SYN in the SYN/ACK packet' + 1 Is there a way to distinguish between this 3rd packet and any other ACK packet during data transfer w/o having to keep track of sequence numbers? Are there other characteristics or options that are set in the former and not in the latter? BAsically I want to capture the three packets sent during the connection establishment phase. How can I do that? Warm regards, Visham
