Re: Track a packet in source & destination end sniffer captures

I have taken sniffer capture at both ends(source & destination) of
communication but how can I track a single packet at both sides of
capture. Is there any unique # tagged into the packet from which it
can be identified that this is the packet reaching the destination
side capture which was sent by source.

Provided its a TCP packet, in 99,99% you should be OK using the
IP-layer id + TCP-layer (absolute) sequence & ack number, in addition
to the src/dst addr/port.

Cheers,
Andrej
