"""
Helper class that parses a list of files containing IXIA captured frames
extracting a sequential number on them.

The captured files look like this. They all contain a two lines header which
needs to be removed.


    Frames 1 to 10 of 20
    Frame,Time Stamp,DA,SA,Type/Length,Data,Frame Length,Status
    1    1203:07:01.397859720    00 00 00 00 00 00    00 00 00 00 00 00    00 01    00 00 00 00 ...
    2    1203:07:01.397860040    00 00 00 00 00 00    00 00 00 00 00 00    00 01    00 00 00 01 ...
    3    ...

Every line after the header shows the information of a single frame. The class
will extract the sequential number at the beginning of the packet payload.

              time-stamp                                                             sequence
