Hi Ramji,

 

Which version of Wireshark are you using. My version (Version 1.3.0-SVN-28821) has no problems with your file.

 

Cheers,

    Sake

Subject: [Wireshark-users] Wireshark decode complaining about Malfromedpacket - (bogus, payload length ...)

Hi,

 

I was trying to capturing DNS packets using Wireshark, and it gave errors about bogus payload length.

 

For example in the Frame 23 in the dump:

 

  IP length is 324 bytes

  UDP length is 304 bytes

 

However there is a complaint about bogus payload length 49 : Bad length value 304 > IP payload length

 

Any idea why this is coming eventhough the entire packet was captured.  The bytes beyond 49 bytes in the payload are treated as Ethernet trailer packets.

 

Thanks,

Ramji
