What's the difference between ip.src and ip.src_host (and ip.dst and ip.dst_host and ip.addr vs ip.host)?


http://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/i/ip.html lists one as a type "Character" and another as type "IPv4 address"

 


ip.dst IPv4 address Destination 1.0.0 to 1.6.5 
ip.dst_host Character string Destination Host 1.0.0 to 1.6.5 

They return the same results, so what exactly does the "type" do?


 Thanks,
Jonathan S. Weissman
