When capturing the traffic from a PTP GM I have under test on CentOS I get this error on all "Announce Messages"

Expert Info (Error/Malformed): Malformed Packet (Exception occurred)

When I run the same capture on a Windows 10 Machine I have no error. If I save the file captured on Windows and open it on CentOS the error is present.

This leads me to think that theres is something different between the PTP protocol is decoded(??) on a Linux system compared to a Windows System.

Anyone have any thoughts?

And what Wireshark version is being used on the Windows 10 system? I suspect it's much more recent than the ancient 1.10.14 being used on your Linux system.

I think the issue is that there's a bug in the older 1.10.14 version, that's been fixed in the more recent version.

Any tips on installing 3.0.2 on CentOS7

I've googled and found numerous guides but when I unzip the tar and run ./configure it fails as no such file

Wireshark no longer supports autotools, so current releases do not include a configure script. You need to install CMake (it may be a package offered by CentOS) and use it.
