   I thought of a NAT device but since the IP addresses and port numbers   
   are unchanged it didn't seem likely. Are you suggesting that a NAT   
   device might not rewrite addresses and port numbers?   
      
   As far as a stateful firewall, I thought of that as well but I couldn't   
   think of a reason why it would bother to rewrite the sequence numbers   
   but leave everything else unchanged. Is there a reason?
