Aaron,

Thanks for the explanation.  For my testing purpose -- to test a
simple TCP server application -- do you think what tool I can use
(together with tcpdump of course)?  The Wireplay seems too old, I
currently don't have a successful compile on it (but I will find time
to try again).

Best Regards,
