Client-server communication on localhost not showing up
Hello, I'm trying to capture packets from a client-server communication on localhost (on the same computer). None of the network interfaces show this. When I connect the client to a remote server though, Wireshark is able to capture the transmitted packets.
How can I visualise the packets exchanged between client and server on the same host? While I can run each on a different computer, for debugging purposes it's easier to test both locally.
Any help welcome.
Regards, Ed
Please add output of
wireshark -vorHelp->About WiresharkThat will include information about the host and the capture library.
Hi. I've just realized that wireshark shows protocol S101 when running the system under loopback. Why? When server and client are on different computers, protocol is informed correctly
In the capture done on the local system using loopback, what are the src and dst ports?
Wireshark has a preference (s101.tcp.port) default value to decode port 9000 as S101.
