How to analyze the packets to determine connection is lost?

0

I apologize for my lack of fluency in the English language. Example situation, I'm downloading software or video. Then I unplug the RJ-45 connector to show a loss of connection during the download process is executed. The problem is, I do not know to explain the matter by input capture data as shown.

Wireshark is not meant to handle or process issues at the physical layer (which is what you do when you pull the RJ-45 connector). Only from the datalink layer and up Wireshark can show you relevant information. In this case Wireshark will just report to you that the interface went down and capture was aborted.
