Can someone describe how the sloss, dloss, and loss counts will be 
affected by an argus probe that drops packets while monitoring?  In other 
words, if argus files do not contain all packets in a flow, will the 
missing packets be counted as "retransmitted or dropped"?  Or are those 
counts based solely on packets seen in a flow?  It's not clear what 
"dropped" means from the man page.  Thanks.
