Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] IP Options TimeStamp

Date: Mon, 16 Aug 2010 02:22:27 -0700 (PDT)
Hi Jaap

Not Sure what wireshark tells, but i have figured out after going through the 
RFC to generate the IP Option for Time Stamp. Following are the fields for 
TimeStamp options


|01000100| length | pointer|oflw|flg|

i was missing the pointer while generating the IP Option for Time Stamp packet 
for which min legal value is 5, after setting that it worked.

Thanks

Abhijeet.C

Hello,

Obvious question, since this is the Wireshark Users forum, not the TCPDump 
forum: What does Wireshark tell you when loading this capture?

Thanks,
Jaap
