Re: what does the TCP stream mean in wireshark

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?

Regards, Martin
