You could use a display filter to select the frames and then use statistics (or the status bar) to count the amount of filtered frames. To build a displayfilter matching these packets, make sure the protocol that contains these 55aa55aa paterns is disabled (Analyze -> Enabled Protocols). This way, tcp will hand of dissection to the data dissector. Double-click on "data (xxx bytes)" in the packet details pane. Then rightclick on "Data: 55aa55aa55aa55..." and select "Apply as Filter -> Selected". That should do the trick :-) Cheers, Sake _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
