Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Understand wireshark data

Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:09:37 +0000
Hi. Okay I have captured data with wireshark. I am trying to understand telnet commands to send to my telnet server. (You know things like IAC, DO, WILL WONT, etc).

For one packet, in the packet details window under the node "Telnet" node I saw something written like:

Command: Will Terminal Type
Command: Will Negotiate About Window Size

Does this translate to

IAC WILL [Terminal Type] IAC WILL SB [Window size]

Is it one sequence of instruction or two instructions?
