I’m using Ethereal 0.10.12. The trace I’m currently examining shows [Short Frame] for many of the packets. Can anyone point me to an explanation of this diagnostic?


Just some days ago I've slightly enhanced this message (I'm working with Ethereal for years now, but found this message still a bit short :-) to:

Short Frame: tcp (capture size was limited)

Would this be better understandable?

Hmmm, after looking at this again, this one might be even better:

Short Frame: tcp (size was limited while capturing)

Suggestions?
