Packet sequence numbers should be interface specific I think. It doesn't make 
sense to make them node specific.

Unfortunately Teco is right, we specified them differently in packetbb:

   o  The <pkt-seq-num> field, if present, contains a sequence number
      that is incremented by 1 for each packet generated by a node.  The
      sequence number after 65535 is 0.  In other words, the sequence
      number "wraps" in the usual way.
