Hi list,

If I remember correctly from the discussions over the past 3 months,
we decided to talk about packets instead of frames. There's one odd
file called packet-frame.c where we're still talking about frames.

Do we agree to replace "Frame" with "Packet" in this file?

Regards,

Olivier

You mean that the first line in the tree view will look like:

"Packet 1 (62 bytes on wire, 62 bytes captured)"
Currently, if you open the tree node, you get a funny mixture of packet and frame, e.g.: "Frame Number" but "Packet Length". 

I do agree on that change, what do others think?
