Re: Analyzing icmpv6 echo packets

[<Tim.Poth () bentley com>]

You're looking for specific types of icmp packets, look at the different filters under icmpv6 under 'Expression...' OR 
by typing a . at the end of the filter in the filter bar and see what pops up, 

think you are looking for something like this

icmpv6.type eq 128 or icmpv6.type eq 129

128 is request, 129 is reply

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Analyzing icmpv6 echo packets

I'm very new to wireshark.
I'm logging tcpdump from a network I set up, and I've been trying to filter only the icmpv6 echo packets out for 
analysis so I could plot a graph to show when the pings are not delivering.
My problem is I keep getting icmpv6 neighbor advertisement, multicast listener report message. router solicitation and 
neighbor solicitation as well as the Echo send and reply packets when I filter.
Is there a way to filter just the Ping echo packets only for analysis.

Thankyou
Alice
