But previously I saw a tcp stream where there are several TCP connections (I mean mutiple SYN-SYN/ACK-ACK handshakes) On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 12:48 PM, Martin Visser <martinvisser99 () gmail com <mailto:martinvisser99 () gmail com>> wrote: Nangergong, A TCP stream is a single connection between two IP addresses, between the two same ports. If you see the beginning you'll see the SYN-SYN/ACK-ACK handshake, an will also see the sequence numbers increasing. Some protocols like HTTP/1.1 can have multiple higher level conversations on the one connection, so I am not sure that is what you might be seeing?
