Hello everybody.
I send you as an attachment a sample capture file of a TCP session
running over a roofnet wireless mesh.
(zipped version of a tcpdump capture file obtained with wireshark)
Obviously, Wireshark decodes only the MAC headers, treating the rest as
'data', as it doesn't now how to dissect...
Thanks for any support!!!
Nicola
