> You're probably capturing some frames that have 2 IP sources in
them--usually because you've got IP-in-IP somehow.The most common example of
this would be an ICMP response where you'll have the IP source of the node
sending the ICMP as well as the IP source of the encapsulated IP packet (the
one that couldn't, for example, be delivered).  But you'll get the same
behavior with any number of tunneling protocols.

Note that you can control (to some degree) which occurrence of a particular
field you want to see.  This is accomplished using "-E occurrence=f|l|a". 
So, if you only want the first occurrence, use "-E occurrence=f".
