I'd like to thank my wife, Valentina, for always supporting me, my kids, Pietro and Sara, because they remind me everyday that we need to strive for the best. A special acknowledgment goes to Peter Wu, a fellow core developer: he's the youngest and most talented developer I've ever met. Finally, thanks to Gerald and all the Wireshark developers for the fun I have had while working on this project.
