Managing packets arriving late

· One min read

Spider parser is now managing packets arriving very late!

Packets reordering was already a feature of the parser, but when a packet was captured after the next communication, it was ruining the parsing of the full Tcp Flow (for persistent connections).

Now a packet getting in late is detected based on its ACK and SEQ flags and segregated in the parsing, not to influence it.

The packet is shown in red in TCP details and TCP content tabs.
