data link type option in wireshark

[<upendra.allu () wipro com>]

Hello,



I have a query on data link type option in Wireshark.

While decoding packets in Wireshark, we have an option to select the
data link type (ex. Ethernet) for decoding the plug-ins. Now my question
is, is it possible to decode the protocols directly without data link?


My idea is if Wireshark can directly decode plug-ins with out a common
data link type, it will be faster. Please share any ideas on this?



Best regards,

Upendra
