Introducing filters

The two types of filters offered by Wireshark are capture filter and display filter, which can be used over live traffic and/or with saved capture files. Filters provide advanced capabilities in performing packet analysis, where a user is able to separate the unwanted stream of packets from the stream of packets for analysis.
