Could you expand on this?
What exactly do you mean by flap? Will the connection be terminated?
I assume that depending on the initial sequence numbers the first flaps
may occur well before 4G.
Do you use a SNE of 0 in the hash computation, or do you just not include
the SNE in it?

Thanks,
Francesco
