> Hello everyone, I am having an issue where I use a gigamon gigasmart card to slice a packet and add a trailer.  As far as I can tell gigasmart is doing this correctly.  However, when I open a capture up in wireshark it appears wireshark is not decoding the trailer correctly.

Slicing packets *and* adding trailers goes, I suspect, beyond what a heuristic can possibly manage to figure out.  I suspect the only way to fix any of this is to modify Wireshark so that there is a preference to indicate whether packets have Gigamon trailers or not.
