What would this mean?  Most services are TCP-based, in which case it may
take multiple packets to even express a request / response.

(That said, Bro does have a framework for packet-level analysis, but
it's not part of the documented feature set.  I can give you some
source-code pointers if you want.)

Evidently so! :-)
