           Summary: The filter "ip.version == 6" doesn't work
           Product: Wireshark
           Version: SVN
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Low
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: ulf.lamping@xxxxxx


Build Information:
SVN 21080 (but version doesn't really matter IMHO)

A colleague of mine tried to use "ip.version == 6" to see only IPv6 packets, as
that sounds like a reasonable filter if you know a little bit about IP. 

However, as the IPv6 dissector is using it's own prefix, the right filter would
be  currently simply "ipv6" (or if you like it more complicated "ipv6.version
== 6") - but both is pretty unintuitive.

It shouldn't be too difficult to have both fields in the protocol tree, so both
"ip.version == 6" and "ipv6.version" (or simply "ipv6") should work ...
