Hi Martin,

Thank you very much. I opened the pcap file in 1.8.6 version of wireshark in Mac and I could see them decompressed.   Earlier I was using Ubuntu to view the file and "sudo apt-get install wireshark"  fetches only version 1.2.7. 

Rupa.

There is answer in a thread from a few years ago here - http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-bugs/201011/msg00779.html - it may or may not help.

Also you are using a *very* old version of Wireshark, that often creates a whole lot of issues.

Hi,

I am trying to ping between two machines with large ICMP packets which are compressed using DEFLATE. I would prefer to view the decompressed packets in the expanded packet details, but seems like wireshark is not decompressing them.  It identifies the packet having IPComp CPI equal to  DEFLATE , but is not actually deflating the data that follows.  

I am using only IPComp, no encryption or authentication in the packet.  I am using version 1.2.7 of wireshark

Please let me know if anybody knows how to see them decompressed.
