For example: An IP header inside an ICMP message. In that case we have two IP Headers in one packet.

But can I limit the display filter (e.g. ip.dst) to only one of them, like in the columns dialog?

I think @cmaynard would like the same feature. :-)

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10379
==============================================================
Maybe Wireshark could be enhanced to make use of the occurrence specifier in display filters similar to when adding custom columns, perhaps even using the same syntax?

For example:  ip.src#1 == 1.2.3.4

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3791
========================================================
Maybe it would be possible to extend the display filters somehow to be able to filter based on something like what tshark provides with its "-Eoccurrence=f|l|a" capabilities?  Today, essentially Wireshark filters packets using "-Eoccurrence=a", but if that feature can be added to tshark, then at least in theory it could be added to Wireshark?

This doesn't solve your problem but is a start if you ask for an enhancement.

@bubbasnmp, the enhancements I proposed in the 2 bug reports you referenced, namely Bug 3791 and Bug 10379, never received any feedback, either positive or negative, so I don't know what the interest level is within the Wireshark community for such an enhancement. It would probably be better if someone interested in such a feature opens a new enhancement bug report specifically requesting this feature to be added; perhaps then it will garner more attention.

I think Bug 3791 describes the enhancement correct, as my problem occurs when we tunnel the traffic. So I Have voted for improvement.

I don't recall Bugzilla supporting votes back when that bug was first opened 10+ years ago, but it's got a few more now, for what it's worth.

i'd like this too... but new to the community so can't upvote yet.

Not sure it's what you want, but wouldn't you be able to use the "frame[POS] == hex-value" filter?
