Use the middle portion of the dialog box to set up the display of the

Summary

column. The

Summary

column will always display. However, this field can just

give a very limited synopsis of protocol activity or provide complete details about
the protocols used in the packet. Check the

Display Detail Protocol Summary

box to

view detail about all the protocols used in the packet. Leaving the

Display Detail

Protocol Summary

box unselected gives a synopsis of all protocols in the packet. If

you want to display protocol summary details, set the protocols you want to display
from the pull-down menu. For example, if you want to display only the Transport
layer and below, select Transport Layer. If you are not displaying protocol
summary details, the protocol layer you select in the pull-down menu will not affect
the display of the

Summary

.

Select the

Display Expert Symptoms

check box if you wish to include expert

symptom information in the

Summary

field. Packets that trigger an expert symptom

and have expert symptom information will display in reverse video in Capture
View.

Capture View Column

Description

Abs Time

The absolute time of arrival for each packet taken from the system
clock when the capture was performed.
format: hh:mm:ss.mmm.uuu.nnn where ss=seconds,
mmm=milliseconds, uuu=microseconds, nnn=nanoseconds

Delta Time

The time between each packet (interpacket gap).
format: s.mmm.uuu.nnn where s=seconds, mmm=milliseconds,
uuu=microseconds, nnn=nanoseconds

Elapsed Time

The time stamp of each packet measured from a relative starting
point. The starting point may be either the module arm time or the
arrival time of a specific packet. See below for information on setting
the elapsed time starting point.

Size

The frame size of the packet in bytes.

Status

The Status field indicates if the frame has errors. For good frames, the
Status field is blank.

Display Network Address

The destination and source IP address.

Cumulative Byte/
Throughput

The Cumulative Byte Count is a sum of all bytes received to this point
in time in a capture file. The Throughput is calculated by dividing the
cumulative bytes by the elapsed time. The elapsed time is the differ-
ence is always measured between the module arm time and the time
stamp of the current packet in the capture file.
