What's the difference between ip.src and ip.src_host (and ip.dst and
ip.dst_host and ip.addr vs ip.host)?
They return the same results, so what exactly does the "type" do?
If you enable network name resolution and the IP address resolves to a host name, you will more easily see the difference. But even without resolving to a host name, the difference is illustrated below: Without network name resolution enabled: ip.src == 67.228.110.120 ip.src_host == "67.228.110.120" With network name resolution enabled: ip.src == 67.228.110.120 ip.src_host == "www.wireshark.org" The format expected for the first is an IP address and the format expected for the second is a character string. - Chris ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
