All is clear except the line “[Destination reference: 0x40000]” The ‘[‘ and ‘]’ suggest that Wireshark did add this line to the output and that the data is not from the frame itself.
Wireshark uses the dst-ref as a part of it's routines for reassembly. For COTP frames without dst-ref we generate a unique dst-ref to use for reassembly, and present this inside [ and ] to indicate that wireshark did generate this. I don't remember the details, but this is the svn log entry for the change (revision 22173): "This patch fixes reassembly when receiving a SES MINOR SYNC POINT and a COTP DT Data (class 1) fragment in the same frame. Also added the generated dst_ref and a reference to the "COTP segment data" to the tree." Maybe the correct solution is to just remove the “[Destination reference: 0x40000]” line, as it may confuse? -- Stig Bjørlykke ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
