Hi tech@,

Now, when I use tcpdump file to capture loopback packets on OpenBSD,
the "link-layer header type" in global header of pcap file is 0x0C,
means "raw IP" packet. I download the file in Windows, and the
Wireshark on Windows can't analyze it , and just shows "
Raw packet data".

After referring
https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-bugs/201502/msg00295.html,
I change the "link-layer header type" from 0x0C to 0x6C(108), the
pcap file can be decoded successfully (About link type, you can refer
http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html).

Concerning about the "link-layer header type" of loopback packet, is
it reasonable to use "0x6C" instead of "0x0C"?

Thanks very much in advance!

Best Regards
Nan Xiao
