Opening a .cap file with diameter messages using wireshark tool i can find avp Policy-Counter-Identify AVPs, but using the tshark tool to read the same .cap file i can't find these specific AVPs. It's sounds like tshark is ignoring this specific AVP. All the other AVPs are displayed ok.

To read the .cap file whith tshark tool i'm using the command 'tshark -V -O diameter -r file.cap'.

I appreciate any help.

What happens if you use the command

tshark -2 -V -O diameter -r file.cap

to request two-pass processing in TShark?

Also, there's no AVP named "Policy-Counter-Identify" in the current dictionary; did you mean "Policy-Counter-Id" or "Policy-Counter-Identifier"?

Hi Guy, thanks for your reply and you're right! The corret AVP's name is Policy-Counter-Identifier. My bad. I tried the command you wrote 'tshark -2 -V -O diameter -r file.cap' and the AVP is still not present in the output.

Additionally, bellow is the AVP complete data decoded and displayed by wireshark tool. That's the information i can't find when using tshark tool as i told when i started this case.

This is probably a bug, but we'd probably need to see a capture in order to diagnose and fix it. Please report this as a bug on the Wireshark Bugzilla, and attach a capture showing the problem to the bug.
