One other default I think we should change is around TCP checksums. It seems so many people are now using NICs with various chimneys and offload processing that we get a lot of "false positives" from new users in the forums and the mailing list.
We turned off TCP and UDP checksum verification a few years ago: http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc?view=rev&revision=24778 (based on the date, this probably first showed up in version 1.2) But this reminds me: sometimes I see IP checksum offloading causing problems now, which we do still check by default. We should probably disable this verification by default as well. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
