How can i view the MMS field in a packet ??


"MMS" or "MSS"?

And if it's "MSS", is that "MSS" as in "TCP Maximum Segment Size option"?
If so, then that field is part of the TCP options in a TCP packet containing it; you'll see it if you open up the "Options" field in the TCP portion of the dissection of such a packet (which will probably be the initial SYN or the SYN+ACK packet in the 3-way handshake).
