timeout olde connections after duration of zero activity...
gopacket.tcpassembly has some good design we can learn from. In particular it seems a worthwhile goal to decouple TCP stream processing from the reading of packets off the wire. gopacket.tcpassembly does this by processing the packet along with a timestamp of when it was received...
Therefore... if we read packets off the wire we generate the timestamp (time.Now()) and if we are processing a pcap file then we get the timestamp from the file.
