After having checked, I can confirm that point: captures were indeed made on
different network devices. I can read those that were captured from a 10
Mb/s port but not those captured from a 100 Mb/s port.
This means that Optiview devices are using the Shomiti variant (hence, type
10 for Fast Ethernet captures), and that we've got a conflict.
