Expanding packets

Expanding packets allows you to display all the packet metadata including the payload.

Packet metadata is a series of information related to the transmission or reception of the packet.

  • The most important metadata is displayed in the columns of the collapsed view of the packet.

  • For packets, the expanded view allows you to get the MAC commands and the applicative payload if any. For more information, see Packet and payload.
