I am trying to understand something more:
Why ICMP 3.10 responses appear as sent to port 778 when viewing Port
Stats?
(Note: I run the following from the nfsen GUI, but I am copying here the
nfdump produced commands.)
When I run, for example:
** nfdump -M /data/nfsen/profiles-data/live/thi -T -R
2016/10/22/nfcapd.201610221320:2016/10/22/nfcapd.201610221325 -c 500
nfdump filter: ((ident thi) and (OUT IF 32) or (ident thi) and (IN IF
32)) and (src ip 194.177.194.192 )

But when I produce destination port stats (for the same time range):

Even if I explicitly request for ICMP traffic, it still shows dst port 778:
** nfdump -M /data/nfsen/profiles-data/live/thi -T -R

(I'm posting in HTML to help preserve formatting.)
Can anyone explain this behavior?
Thanks,
