Hi,
We are using iTest 4.0.3 for automating a testcase which involves sniffing wireless packets. The wireshark session in iTest is not displaing some fields in the "show details <packet_no>" command. The same field is displaying correctly in the tshark output.
For example a snip from the "show details <packet_no>" output in wireshark session
wlan_mgt.tag.interpretation |
| Vendor Specific: WME <----- No Field displayed
wlan_mgt.tag.number | 221
Same packet snippet from tshark output
Tag interpretation: Unknown + Name: tb4-root1 #Clients: 0 Vendor Specific: WME <---- Field name is correctly displayed Tag Number: 221 (Vendor Specific) Tag length: 24 Tag interpretation: WME PE: type 2, subtype 1, version 1, parameter set 133 Tag interpretation: WME AC Parameters: ACI 0 (Best Effort), Admission Control not Mandatory, AIFSN 3, ECWmin 4, ECWmax 4, TXOP 0 Tag interpretation: WME AC Parameters: ACI 1 (Background), Admission Control not Mandatory, AIFSN 7, ECWmin 4, ECWmax 4, TXOP 0 Tag interpretation: WME AC Parameters: ACI 2 (Video), Admission Control not Mandatory, AIFSN 2, ECWmin 3, ECWmax 3, TXOP 94 Tag interpretation: WME AC Parame

Hi,
According to my understanding i think Vendor Specific: WME and Vendor Specific: Aironet CCX version = 5 are a kind of headers and under that the field names and values are mentioned in details.
I hope this information might help you.
Thanks
Yes it is a header but why there is no field name?
