Navigate to the endpoint you wish to filter by in the pop-up box, right-click, and highlight “Apply as Filter.”.
Click “Statistics” in the top menu bar.
Follow these steps to create an endpoint display filter. It can be applied to several other types of expressions and protocols as well. The following example demonstrates how to create a display filter using an endpoint. For PPP, you might or might not see the FCS and, for PPP in HDLC-like framing, you might or might not see the HDLC-like header.Īlso, for Ethernet, see my answer to this question about capturing the preamble, SFD, and FCS.If you don’t know the exact expression to type for your filter, there is a simpler method you can apply in some cases. that data is not data that was transmitted as bits on the air, but it does show up in the packet data and does get counted as part of the length. For 802.11, you might or might not get the FCS, and you might also get a header before the 802.11 header containing radio metadata (data rate, channel, etc.
On Ethernet, the preamble and SOF delimiter are rarely captured (I don't think it's ever captured by regular Ethernet hardware and regular Ethernet device drivers), and the FCS is usually not captured but sometimes might be (the reason why Wireshark has heuristics to try to guess whether there's an FCS or not is that the Ethernet adapter and Mac OS X driver on at least one machine I was using did supply the FCS, so incoming packets included the FCS, although outgoing packets didn't.
Wireshark doesn't add numbers to get that length, it gets the number from libpcap/WinPcap, which gets it from the underlying capture mechanism, which usually gets the number from the device driver, which typically gets it from the hardware.
