Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Can't capture traffic on some ports

["Abhik Sarkar" <sarkar.abhik@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

When the traffic is within the machine... the packets will pass
through the local TCP/IP stack without going through the network
interface... that's why tcpdump/wireshark are unable to see those
packets.

Hope this helps
Abhik.
