Hi Hanees, Thanks for ur reply... I referred print-arp.c for arp output format..no where i found (Broadcast) is using...but it is appearing on the output...[refer to my first mail] If there is no such information like the output should be printed like this.. then how can we know whether it is a correct output or not..
And one more thing is , Is the tcpdump tested on any platform(OS)? so that i can refer the output on that platform..
