My first reaction would be that the Stop button closes the connection and
thus looks no different from a normal termination.
That said, it's possible that when pushing Stop the receiving end may
produce a few RST packets which may not appear on normal termination. Maybe
you can check which end terminated the connection?
It's certainly not an obvious question.
