Hello,





I’m analyzing the snort source codes for personal interest.



I have some questions, though I’m not sure if here’s a right place to ask
about.



I’m now at the stream6 preprocessor and seeing how TCP sessions are
created. (snort_stream_tcp.c)



However, I’m confused whether if snort is making a TCP session per
direction(so it will make two TCP sessions per connection), or just one TCP
session per connection.



I tried debugging myself, and saw only one TCP session made per connection.



I’ll be so glad to know that stuff with some details and reasons :)
