What capture filter will test whether the DSCP value in the IPv4 header is in a particular range?

Hello,

I just want to capture traffic with specific DSCP Value Range. How can I achieve this? Is there a way to filter for an value range or mask?

I did find the following in the wireshark blog:

ip[1] & 0xfc == 0xb8

This one works, but only for DSCP Value 46. I want to capture only packets with DSCP Value Range 8-23...

I tried it with an edited mask and filter value, but this does not work, only the last original filter for EF...:

ip[1] & 0xe0 == 0x20 or ip[1] & 0xe0 == 0x40 or ip[1] & 0x80 == 0xb8 or ip[1] & 0xfc == 0xb8

So can anyone help me?

Kind regards

Robert

Untested, but a DSCP range of 8-23 means values of the firstsecond (or index [1]) octet of the IP header are between 0x20 and 0x5C inclusive, so with the appropriate mask gives

(ip[1] & 0xFC >= 0x20) and (ip[1] & 0xFC <= 0x5C)
