Yes, it is reading, not replaying.My mistake. I am specifying the fields
with -e option. for example, the Target Address field(in icmpv6 header) in
icmpv6 neighbor solicitaion message(icmpv6 type = 135) sent to
solicited-node multicast address, i am specifying the filter
as icmpv6.nd.ns.target_address. When this filter is used in wireshark GUI,
it works. But in tshark, what all i can see is a nothing.
