bunty a écrit :
Does that mean while capturing packets, if i set capture on any interface it will use sll and if i give specific interface like eth0 or eth1 then it must print eth instead sll. 
          Is that right??
Exactly. Libpcap (underlying low-level capture system) automatically chooses sll encapsulation when capturing on 'any' interface, replacing the original link-layer header (device dependent) with a generic device-independent pseudo header.
