I am running Ethereal on Gentoo linuix and capturing Ethernet packets sent
from my Cisco CallManager 4.2

 

I notice a number of frames that are short-frames..indicating 1514 bytes on
the wire, and 1500 bytes captured.

 

What might cause only 1500 bytes to be captured?  My eth0 interfaces have
MTU 1500.

 

I am assuming I have 12 (I think) bytes of header..but the header appears to
be captured.  When I look at the captured information, It appears that I am
missing payload!

 

Cisco CallManager runs under a Windows OS (2000 I think? Will need to
check)..perhaps they have the MTU hardcoded in the registry.

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
