[Ns-developers] First Stab at Validation and Verification

[George Riley]

Yep, you are right; but the random ISN does not really affect the way  
packets
are sent, just the contents; the overall observable behavior is the  
same.
So yes, the ISN is random, but I still claim it is not random in the  
sense
that Craig was looking for in is validation writeup.
