Shouldn't viewer recognise distinct entries by their source name? I.e. not
by
their IP/port number combination?
So, if an application shows up using port 50000, then the PC it's running
on is
rebooted and things start up in a different order and it ends up being on
port
49981, then this shouldn't result in multiple entries in viewer?
