Hello,

I'm trying to get an understanding of what is actually being applied to the filter when using quick terms such as tcp.

E.g. if I filter "tcp", is it actually filtering ip.proto==0x06?

I am getting different packet counts for each of these filters and I would like to know if there is a document that contains this type of information for these quick reference type of filters.

Thank you for your help.

Edit: Another example is something like ipv6 vs ip.version==6

Edit 2: I wanted to mention that I am looking for a resource or tool that would help me dissect a display filter. I've used dumpcap -d -f <display filter="">, filter>, but not exactly what I'm looking for.
