Tethereal has nothing such as that particular example; the non-"-v"
output of Tethereal shows the same stuff that is shown in the packet
list display in Ethereal, and the RIP dissector doesn't happen to list
all the information in the "Info" column of the summary.

Note that Tethereal is *not* intended to be a tcpdump replacement; it's
more of a snoop replacement - it doesn't concentrate on trying to show
lots of information in one line, the way tcpdump does.
