I'm assuming here that by "packets of the same type" you mean "packets
that, at the layer where the protocol-tree item is selected, are of the
same type"; it wouldn't make it any easier to select a given protocol
tree selection at, say, the IP layer to make it work only if the two
packets are both TCP packets, say, and it wouldn't make it easier if the
selection is at the TCP layer if both packets are HTTP packets.

You are right about that, thanks.

Ben.
