Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Unable to recognise DTLS packets

Hi
  Thanx a lot.I used the 'Decode as' option,and the DTLS header is getting parsed correctly.But it caused an issue,that for some some of the DTLS packets,the pprotocol field showed DTLSv1,while the other packets showed it as DTLS,although all the packets are of the same version.Is there any particular reason for such a difference in version.
  Secondly,I would like to get the packet displayed with the header information,through command line using tshark,and redirect the output to a text file.But when the filter string used is 'dtls',the file conatains no entries.On the other hand,when the filter string used with the same command is 'coap',packets get displayed,but then again the DTLS header is parsed as CoAP.I would like to get DTLS packets decoded as DTLS through command line.I am using version 10.4.Is there any other approach to do the same using the same version,or I need to update it?

Port 5683 is the default CoAP port and then the CoAP dissector is used
by default. You can right click on the Package in wireshark and then
click on "Decode As..." and select DTLS to decode it was DTLS.

Wen you want to use DTLS with CoAP I would suggest you to use a nightly
build or a 11.X version of wireshark, there are some improvements in
wireshark regarding these two protocols.
