When I use wireshark program I can see all data related to diameter (AVP: Multiple-Services-Credit-Control, AVP: Service-Information, ... ), but when using tshark command I get only (Data (708 Bytes) and some HEX values).

Command I use when Capturing : sudo tcpdump -i eno1 host x.x.x.x -s0 -w test.pcap Command I use when displaying file(test.pcap):tshark - r test.pcap -q -V

Please send me the right configuration to get all diameter data readable not in HEX

You say the display in Wireshark is different, are you viewing the same capture file on the same machine as when using tshark?

I used wireshark program on windows to open (test.pcap) file and all field for diameter are shown, but when I use tshark command for the same file (test.pcap) on ubuntu server I get same results except for diameter field I (data size and Hex values for data).

As you're running on different OS's you'll be using different profiles and probably different versions.

What's the Windows Wireshark version and Ubuntu tshark version?

What happens if you use tshark from a command prompt on Windows?

My wireshark version on windows (Version 2.2.5 (v2.2.5-0-g440fd4d)). On Ubuntu tshark (Wireshark) (Git v2.4.5 package as 2.4.5-1).

Thanks

You could try installing 2.4.5 on Windows so we're at least comparing apples with apples. Note that that isn't the current stable version, that is 2.6.2 which was just released yesterday.

Your last comment has given the game away. You'll need to supply "Decode As" info to tshark, try something like:

tshark -r test.pcap -d tcp.port==40201,diameter.3gpp -q -V

Adjusting as required for your diameter type (use tshark -d . to see what's supported in your version) and protocol it's running over (might be SCTP). This is presuming that tshark 2.4.5 has the -d parameter.

It worked, Thanks very much. But I have to use -d tcp.port==40201,diameter without(.3gpp).
