* range to the starting sequence number <i>startingSeq</i>. So this function works fine also
* when <i>seqNumber</i> is smaller than <i>startingSeq</i> and <i>startingSeq</i> + 2048 is greater
* than 4096 because all comparison are circular modulo 2^12. The following are possible scenarios:

* if that packet (with sequence number <i>numberSeq</i>)) belongs to the section of the
* sequence number space marked with '-' characters. The function returns false otherwise.
