<mailto:germylure () huawei com> Hello ,everyone, I need your help! I am a freshman on tcpdump, I have a problem about it, I try to capture the Trafic Control Frame(2nd layer ,the Pause Frame,which used to tell the Switch pause Transmitting frames to the host, because the host RX buffer is near full). The Pause Frame ethertype is 0x8808 , but I have never capture one Pause packet successfully, why ? I want to know which layer the tcpdump works ? ethernet ,IP or TCP/UDP ? thank you additional info : NIC chip info The minimum size frame is 512 bits or 64 bytes (see Figure 122). MAC control frames must pad zeros into the unused portion of the payload. A flow control frame contains the following fields: * Destination address field, set to 01-80-C2-00-00-01 * Source address field set to unique MAC address of sender * LL/Type field set to the 802_3_MAC_CONTROL value, set to 88-08 * MAC control pause opcode (00-01), pause_time, and reserved field (zeros) thanks !
