 ---------------------------------
 Capture Filters are used to filter out uninteresting packets already at capture time. This is done to reduce the size of the resulting capture (file) and is especially useful on high traffic networks or for long term capturing.  
 
-Ethereal uses the pcap (libpcap/WinPcap) filter language for capture filters. This language is explained in the tcpdump man page under "expression" (http://www.tcpdump.org and search for "selects which").

 c) It might be a good idea not to use a capture filter. This will depend on the task you have to do.
 As a rule of thumb: if you want to see most of the packets and only filter a small number out, don't use a capture filter (you can use a display filter later). If you only want to capture a small proportion of the packets, it might be better to set a capture filter, as this will reduce the number of packets that have to be saved.

 Using display filters, you can choose which packets should (not) be shown on the screen. This is useful to reduce the "noise" usually on the network, showing only the packets you want to. So you can concentrate on the things you are really interested in.

 Everytime you change the filter string, all packets will be reread from the capture file (or from memory), and processed by the display filter "machine". Packet by packet, this "machine" is asked, if this particular packet should be shown or not.
 
-Ethereal offers a very powerful display filter language for this. It can be used for a wide range of purposes, from simply: "show only packets from a specific IP address", or on the other hand, to very complex filters like: "find all packets where a special application specific flag is set".
