wireshark ICMP ‘seq’ in packet info

0

I am trying to understand the capture for PING in wireshark. Can some one tell me what is the meaning of seq=1/256 or seq=3/768 in ICMP packet info? Thanks in advance

It's the sequence number that ICMP echo packets have, and since it can be in little endian or big endian byte order, Wireshark shows both interpretations, separated by the "/".
