Sizes for each packet are listed in the "Frame" tree in the middle pane.
"Packet Length" shows the length of the frame as it was transmitted
on the wire, and "Capture Length" shows the number of bytes captured
to disk. Depending on the settings used during capture the two lengths
may be different.
To add a length column, do the followng:
- Open "Edit->Preferences->Columns".
- Click the "Add New" button at the top of the window. This will add a
new column entry to the list.
- Change the column title to something appropriate, e.g. "Len".
- Change the column format to "Packet length (bytes)".
- Click the "Up" and "Down" buttons to move the colum to the desired
position.
- Click "Save" and "OK".
The size is listed in bytes. There is currently no option to list the size
in kilobytes.
