When the devices on the path (routers, firewalls, switches, etc.) receive these packets, they check if they are larger than the MTU size, if so, the devices drop these packets, which causes failures. Some applications do not want their packets to be fragmented in the network. Filtering the Packets That Should Not Be Fragmented When we need to filter packets belong to only several hosts. We need that filter when we would like to see the packets coming and going to a network. Wireshark let you specify the network and its subnet length. Filtering broadcast and multicast packetsĪLSO READ: Troubleshooting TLS Failures using Wireshark 6.Filtering an IP by the city, country etc.At the application layer, you can specify a display filter for the HTTP Host header: http. Filtering the packets that should not be fragmented You can filter on a HTTP host on multiple levels.Filtering the packets larger than 1500 bytes (Default MTU size).Filtering conversations between 2 hosts.Filtering packets destined or sourced to/from a specific IP.Filtering a host by its destination IP address.Filtering a host by its source IP address.I will cover the topics below in the article. That is why being able to use the filters properly is very important.
The primary benefit of the filters is to remove the noise (the traffic you are not interested in) and they help you narrow down the type of data you are looking for. It provides great filters with, which you can easily zoom in to where you think the problem may lie. Wireshark is a powerful network analysis tool for network professionals.
