-tcpflow is a program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP connections
-(flows), and stores the data in a way that is convenient for protocol analysis
-or debugging. A program like 'tcpdump' shows a summary of packets seen on the
-wire, but usually doesn't store the data that's actually being transmitted.
-In contrast, tcpflow reconstructs the actual data streams and stores each flow
-in a separate file for later analysis.

-currently does not understand IP fragments; flows containing IP fragments will
-not be recorded properly.
