At what layer in the protocol stack is the sniffing being done?
 
Product: Distinct Network MonitorTopic: generalLast updated: 3/26/2008
 
Q.: At what layer in the protocol stack is the sniffing being done?
A.: It is done at level 2, data link layer. Captured data includes the Ethernet header, but not the additional Ethernet frame fields. These fields, for example a check sum field after the frame, are stripped by the hardware layer.
