If the code in question is stepping through a packet, and "i" is actually "offset" or some such variable holding the 
offset into the packet, and other code is doing "offset += 2" or "offset += 4", people might have used "offset += 1" to 
make the style more consistent and to put the field length into all the incrementing lines of code.
