Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] "strange" Fragmented ip packet

Hi all,

 

First time I write in the list, nice to meet you all. Here’s my question:

 

In a series of ftp data (over a wireless link and using the huawei e220 device) I see the following Fragmented IP packet (details are below) that I can’t understand.

 

Many things are wrong with this one:

 

First of all it shouldn’t be in this sequence, its source/destination addresses are unknown, all its fields are messed up e.g. protocol unknown, IPv12???, IP header 60bytes???, diffserv is true, all the checksums are bad and the list goes on…

 

Could it be that I captured something that wasn’t meant for me due to bad radio conditions? Why are its fields so messed up? Any help on what happened here would be really appreciated!

 

Thanks

Velissarios
