packet analysis tools like Ethereal can be used to decode and review the packets in detail.

or both. The number of packets captured will depend on the size of the captured packets.
capture {start|stop}
Use the command capture start to manually start capturing CPU packets for packet
trace. Capturing packets is stopped automatically when 128 packets are captured and have
not yet been displayed during a capture session. It is guaranteed that packets not displayed
and not saved will not be lost when capturing is in progress. Use the command capture
stop to manually stop capturing CPU packets for packet trace before the moment when 128
packets are captured and capturing packets is stopped automatically.The packet capture
operates in three modes:
Capture file

Capture line
The command is not persistent across a reboot cycle.
