Capturing a "clean" TCP stream

[Alexandros Karypidis <akarypid () yahoo gr>]

Hi,

I'm a new user of libpcap.

I am writing a program that is intended to monitor the requests made to 
a server from various clients. I am using libpcap to capture all 
packets directed to the server's IP and need to parse the _payload_ of 
the TCP stream (i.e. isolate the application protocol messages, 
discarding TCP retransmissions). I am currently parsing the TCP header 
using sequence/ack fields to detect retransmissions and extract 
payload. Could one suggest a better approach to this?
