The HTTP header length field is only added to the packet description if the packet contains the HTTP header. Did you verify that? – user568493 Apr 27 '11 at 14:27 @Bruce: btw, I tested this script on Wireshark 1.4.6 on Windows XP SP3. – user568493 Apr 27 '11 at 14:30

systemsusing routers. The IPv4 packet header consists of 20 bytes of data. An option exists within the header that allows further optional bytes to be added, but this is not normally used (with the occasional exception of something called "Router Alert"). The full header is shown below: Jan 13, 2019 · Ethernet v2 MTU (1500) less PPPoE header: DS-Lite over PPPoE: 1452: Ethernet v2 MTU (1500) less PPPoE header (8) and IPv6 header: PPPoE jumbo frames: 1493 – 9190 or more: Ethernet Jumbo Frame MTU (1501 - 9198) less PPPoE header: WLAN (802.11) 2304: The maximum MSDU size is 2304 before encryption. WEP will add 8 bytes, WPA-TKIP 20 bytes, and A Payload Length field value of 1240 – as the Fragment Header extension header is 8 bytes, this packet contains 1232 bytes of data, with 168 bytes remaining A Next Header field value (in the standard header) of 44 A Next Header field value (in the extension header) of 6 indicating the transport level protocol in use is TCP

GRE over IPv4, encapsulates IPv4. We want tunnel MTU, parent interface MTU is 1500 Parent interface MTU is maximum size of IPv4 packets it can transmit, not counting Ethernet frame headers. So we only need to care about IPv4 and GRE, and we add IPv4 (20 bytes) and GRE (4 bytes).

Apr 13, 2016 · Total packet size (bytes) = (MP header of 6 bytes) + (compressed IP/UDP/RTP header of 2 bytes) + (voice payload of 20 bytes) = 28 bytes Total packet size (bits) = (28 bytes) * 8 bits per byte = 224 bits PPS = (8 Kbps codec bit rate) / (160 bits) = 50 pps Note: 160 bits = 20 bytes (default voice payload) * 8 bits per byte The Routing extension header is used to direct a packet to one or more intermediate nodes before being sent to its destination. The header is at least 8 octets in size; if more Type-specific Data is needed than will fit in 4 octets, blocks of 8 octets are added to the header repeatedly, until all Type-specific Data is placed. Next Header (8 bits)

The HTTP header length field is only added to the packet description if the packet contains the HTTP header.

Using –f option with ping command will not allow packet fragmentation in the network. ping –f –l 1472 192.168.0.105 Provides an unreliable packet delivery service between hosts (routing). Header (20 bytes) Version, 4 bits, IPv4 = 4 Header length, 4 bits, 4 = 20 bytes TOS (Type of Service), 8 bits, unused Packet length, 16 bits, (0-65535) Identifier for fragment reassembly, 16 bits Flags (3 bits), 1 = more fragments follow, 0 = last/only fragment Following is a list of the fields in the IPv6 header: Version The Version field indicates the version of IP and is set to 6. The size of this field is 4 bits. While the purpose of the Version field is defined in the same way for both IPv4 and IPv6, its value is not used to pass the packet to an IPv4 or IPv6 protocol layer.
