Finding a gap in length or id

I am testing a LAN switch and I am sending packets with the length of each frame incremented by 1 from 126 to 1500 and back again. I am trying to use the incremented lengths to find a gap. All of these packets are coming from the same source, so if there is a way to find a gap in IP identifiers that would also solve my problem.

Thanks you!

Maybe graph length of frames in the IO graph tool and look for a discontinuity? Do you know how to use it? Unless the gap is big, it might be easy to miss.

I would probably export the dataset and move to excel or another tool and have it calculate the length deltas for me... they should all be 1, except where a gap exists. So, graphing the delta calculation, anything above 1 would be a gap. It should stand out a little more this way.

The I/O viewer isn't helpful because it is always bytes/sec, but exporting to excel works great!

Thanks Bob!

It's possible to get other values on the graph. If you are interested, we can provide more detail.

You can do this task by different ways. 2 of them I show you.

You can use tshark -> Have a detailed look here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMg8t...
You can use the "File -> Export Packet dissections -> As CSV..." dialog to export the packet pane view to a csv file. After that you can import it into excel and do some sorts or scripting around it....
