When I added the generated "marks" to these fields, my idea I was: Which 
information is in the capture file and which is generated later on by 
Wireshark.

Is derived from the read sequence, you may argue it's generated.

know if that's necessary.

The other three fields are actually in the capture file and should not 
be marked as generated IMO ...
