Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Ethernet flow control

Hello all,

I believe we're running into an issue caused by one device sending PAUSE frames onto the wire and impairing the bandwidth delivered by the upstream switch.

I have placed a 10BaseT hub (old school) in the datapath and attempted to capture this information using a linux host running Wireshark, but I do not see any flow control information.

Is there anything I need to do to the ethernet driver/interface in order to capture this traffic using Wireshark?

TIA,
