you could find additional information in their respective website.....: http://www.wireshark.org

Hello Ganesh,

Thanks for te reply.

Got your point. One more thing i want to ask you that what frame in wireshark is to identify that there is broadcast or loop in the network.

And what will be the sourse and destination of that frame.
