 At the Jan 2013 OONI meeting, several people mentioned plans for how to
 make sure the pcap files only include packets generated because of the
 test (i.e. not other user packets).

 It seems that #6071 is the first go at this. It would be great to write up
 what exactly it does (and a little bit of why that's the right way to do
 it).

 The first goal would be to describe what is done for the current tests, so
 when somebody uses the data from the current tests, they'll understand
 what they're getting.

 The next goal would be to encourage the Bismark team to either use the
 same approach, or tell you a better approach and then both teams can
 (write it down and) switch to it.
