3.17. The "Packet Bytes" pane
The packet bytes pane shows the data of the current packet (selected in the "Packet List" pane) in a
hexdump style.
Figure 3.15. The "Packet Bytes" pane
As usual for a hexdump, the left side shows the offset in the packet data, in the middle the packet
data is shown in a hexadecimal representation and on the right the corresponding ASCII characters
(or . if not appropriate) are displayed.
There is a context menu (right mouse click) available, see details in Figure 6.5, “Pop-up menu of
"Packet Bytes" pane” .
Depending on the packet data, sometimes more than one page is available, e.g. when Ethereal has
reassembled some packets into a single chunk of data, see
Section 7.3, “Packet Reassembling” . In
this case there are some additional tabs shown at the bottom of the pane to let you select the page
you want to see.

Note!
The additional pages might contain data picked from multiple packets.
The context menu (right mouse click) of the tab labels will show a list of all available pages. This
can be helpful if the size in the pane is too small for all the tab labels.
