Re: Filtering pppoe packets

Thanks alot,
Following your advice I could actually capture...
One question is still opened though-
Are the offsets of the internal fields of the packets(like *ipheader, *udp
etc) also shifted comparing to those under standard packets?

If you're capturing traffic on an Ethernet interface, and some or all of
that traffic is PPPoE (rather than, for example, capturing on a PPP device
that happens to use PPPoE), to filter on the PPPoE content you have to do

       pppoes and {filter}

so that, for example, if you want all UDP PPPoE traffic, you need to say

       pppoes and udp

The pcap-filter man page in libpcap 1.0.0 and later (and the tcpdump man
page for the pre-4.0 versions of tcpdump released at the same time as
pre-1.0 versions of libpcap) says:

      pppoes True if the packet is a PPP-over-Ethernet Session packet
(Ether-
             net  type  0x8864).   Note that the first pppoes keyword
encoun-
             tered in expression changes the decoding offsets for the
remain-
             der  of  expression on the assumption that the packet is a
PPPoE
             session packet.

             For example:
                  pppoes && ip
             filters IPv4 protocols encapsulated in PPPoE.
