SSL reassembly and decryption also does not like duplicates. Instead of solving 
it in each and every upper layer protocol, I think it could be solved by having 
an option to "Auto-ignore duplicate packets", preferably referencing the frame 
of which it is a duplicate in the INFO column.

How does that sound?
