    Yes because it's already implemented. Every time the pcap panel is rendered 
(`ngOnInit` ) we ask the server whether we have a running job in the 
background. If so, we reattach the job on the UI and keep pooling the server 
until the job gets done. But it has nothing to do with what we're doing here in 
this PR.

> There are a lot of http requests performed in the pcap panel ui component and 
> we just unsubscribe from some of them when the component is no longer 
> rendered on the screen. It could cause memory consumption issues. Because of 
> the active subscriptions, the garbage collector is not able to remove these 
> objects from the memory, however they're not needed to be there anymore.
> There's another benefit of unsubscribing from these http calls. If the user 
> leaves the pcap tab but there are pending requests, the unsubscribe method 
> cancels the active xhrs immediately so it won't wait for fulfilment 
> unnecessarily.

> I would also refactor that part when we convert an observable to a promise. I 
> would keep it as an observable. By doing this, we would be able to 
> unsubscribe from it as well in the destructor method. Promises are not 
> cancelable.

> Resources:
> [https://angular.io/guide/lifecycle-hooks#ondestroy]
> This is the place to free resources that won't be garbage collected 
> automatically. Unsubscribe from Observables and DOM events. Stop interval 
> timers.
