When this feature is enabled the sliding window monitoring inside Wireshark will detect and trigger display of interesting events for TCP such as : This feature should not impact too much on the run-time memory requirements of Wireshark but can be disabled if required. This allows much better and more accurate measurements of packet-loss and retransmissions than is available in any other protocol analyzer. This requires some extra state information and memory to be kept by the dissector but allows much better detection of interesting TCP events such as retransmissions. See the TCP Analysis section of the User's Guide for more up to date documentation.īy default Wireshark and TShark will keep track of all TCP sessions and implement its own crude version of Sliding_Windows. You can filter TPKT protocols while capturing, as it's always using TCP port 102.This page might not be accurate. Show only the TPKT based traffic: tpkt Capture Filter Display FilterĪ complete list of TPKT display filter fields can be found in the display filter reference Keep it short, it's also a good idea to gzip it to make it even smaller, as Wireshark can open gzipped files automatically. XXX - Add a simple example capture file to the SampleCaptures page and link from here. * Wether TPKT packets spanning multiple TCP segments should be reassembled or not, for VoIP traffic this setting is essential. The well known TCP port for TPKT traffic is 102.

TCP: Typically, TPKT uses TCP as its transport protocol.

HistoryĪs TCP becomes more and more popular (around 1995?), a mechanism was needed to encapsulate ISO services on top of TCP transport, as both protocols have similiar tasks and COTP was becoming obsolete these days.

See the IsoProtocolFamily page for an overview. The two major points missing in TCP (compared to COTP) are the TSAP addressing and the detection of packet boundaries on the receiving host.
