How to resolve IPv6 addresses.
I am working to capture all the email traffic to my system to TS an issue with Thunderbird's email handling. I have multiple email accounts across many services. When I look at the WS Endpoints display (and in the captured trace) most of the IPv6 addresses are not resolved to a host name. (Yes, the Name resolution setting is enabled.)
The only one that is resolved is to py-in-f16.1e100.net. (Google Gmail I presume.) Why aren't the others and how do i configure my network or Wireshark to accomplish this?
Oh, I am using the following Capture Filter: tcp port 993 or tcp port 465. If there is a better way to filter this I'm all ears.
Thanks for the help.
Have you been able to find IPv6 addresses which have PTR records not showing up in the endpoint dialog?
That is usually the problem, AAAA records are there in DNS, PTR not so much. And those are the ones Wireshark needs.
Perhaps enabling 'Use SNI information' may give more name resolution in this case.
