Packet Sequence Number in Mindterm SSH2 Transport packets

[Govin Varadarajan]

Hi,

My understanding is that SSH Transport Layer Protocol
(draft-ietf-secsh-transport-15.txt) specifies a packet
format that does not include a sequence number in it
(as defined in Section 4 of the draft) and also it is
specified in Section 4.4 of the same draft it is
stated that the packet sequence number is not included
in the packet sent over the wire.

However, on looking at the mindterm SSH2
implementation, I understand that the transport
packets include a sequence number as the first four
bytes of each transport packet.

Thus, my question is. 

Does the mindterm implementation of SSH2 not adhere to
the packet standard defined in the draft ? or is my
understanding wrong ?  

I would appreciate if any one of the mindterm
implementors could comment on this.

As always, thank you very much for your time,

Sincerely,
Govin Varadarajan
