What's the meaning of the tshark output fields?












0















Dear wireshark experts,



I got a tshark output image on ubuntu 16.04 after I ran the command curl www.baidu.com, as shown below. But I can't tell you the story from the output lines, because I can't find any mathematical relationships betweens the lines.



Could someone explain the meaning of each line, especially the field Ack and Win?



So appreciated in advance!

          That's not related to tshark/wireshark, but generally to TCP protocol:




          • ACK (and SYN) are tcp flags being set during connection establishment


          • Win is also tcp parameter. see Window size

          • Thanks. I've read through the RFC, and now I understand how to establish and close a TCP connection. But what about Len from line 5 to 9, it is always 0. Why is that?
