DDS - pcap or pcapng

0

Hello, I am trying to get a handle on DDS, Are the wireshark versions that are out the built on 1.8 and greater where they capture pcapng. Or are they still on pcap. Doest the expanded metadata of pcapng lend itself to the DDS data like ID, Topic, Type and maybe QOS? - thanks

What do you mean by "DDS"?

There is no relationship between DDS and pcapng! pcapng is a file format used to store network capture data, while DDS is a standard for data/message transport (for real-time systems).

So, what exactly is your question?

BTW: if you want to capture DDS messages, Wireshark does not care if you store the captured data in a pcap or pcapng file, as the DDS data structure is in the network frames, not the capture file.

Kurt
