Statistics
For each supported protocol, a tab is shown in this window. The tab labels shows the number of en- dpoints captured (e.g. the tab label "Ethernet: 5" tells you that five ethernet endpoints have been captured). If no endpoints of a specific protocol were captured, the tab label will be grayed out (although the related page can still be selected).
Each row in the list shows the statistical values for exactly one endpoint.
Name resolution will be done if selected in the window and if it is active for the specific protocol layer (MAC layer for the selected Ethernet endpoints page). As you might have noticed, the first row has a name resolution of the first three bytes "Netgear", the second row's address was resolved to an IP address (using ARP) and the third was resolved to a broadcast (unresolved this would still be: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff), the last two Ethernet addresses remain unresolved.
Tip!
This window will be updated frequently, so it will be useful, even if you open it before (or while) you are doing a live capture.
8.4.3. The protocol specific "Endpoint List" windows
Before the combined window described above was available, each of its pages were shown as separ- ate windows. Even though the combined window is much more convenient to use, these separate windows are still available. The main reason is, they might process faster for very large capture files. However, as the functionality is exactly the same as in the combined window, they won't be discussed in detail here.
