There are plenty of "link-layer header types" that include information that's not part of a link-layer header; see, for example, LINKTYPE_IEEE802_11_RADIOTAP, which precedes the 802.11 link-layer header with a metadata header containing radio information: http://www.radiotap.org/ ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
