Wireshark to capture 6lowpan packages

0

Hi there,

I run ns3 6lowpan example and it created some pcap files. Then I open that file with wireshark but it seems something is wrong. It didn't dissect the message. I downloaded sample 6lowpan capture and it seemed well. What am i doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

My pcap file : https://www.cloudshark.org/captures/d0ee8d4cef2e

Sample pcap file: https://www.cloudshark.org/captures/bf3241f1a282

Your pcap file with Ethernet encapsulation has an unknown Ethertype of 0xffff. I don't know enough about ns3 to be able to suggest how to correct that though.
