Checksums are filled by the NIC on TX packets, some tcpdump/wireshark
versions do not really know of this.

packet 30 (which is accepted) has TSval=4054079470 & TSecr=22894,
but packet 32 has TSval=4054078149 & TSecr=22863, while its sequence is
correct (coming after the prior packet)

Sender has a wrong implementation of TCP Timestamps (RFC 1323), or a
middlebox mangles timestamps badly.

Receiver considers this as an old packet.
