The capture_xxx() functions are for doing a very quick and dirty dissection of
packets while we're
capturing traffic, so that instead of just showing a count of packets as we
capture, we can show a count of
particular types of packets. Therefore, the right thing to do with invalid
packets would be to count them
as "other" packets and not bother doing any further dissection - just as we do
when doing a real dissection. Right, thanks. I normally hide the capture info dialog, so I forgot about those statistics. I checked in a change to explicitly increment the "other" count for these invalid Ethernet frames, even though they would have been counted the same way anyway in capture_ethertype(), but I think it's a little clearer this way. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
