Display Filters

Wireshark Display Filters Reference

Wireshark's most powerful feature is its vast array of display filters (over 96000 as of version 1.2.2). They let you drill down to the exact traffic you want to see and are the basis of many of Wireshark's other features, such as the coloring rules.
