I have been trying to see what kind of negotiations (full or half duplex), a VOIP network device (Linksys Pap2) is setting up. I have connected the Voip device to a hub, and connected my pc to the same hub. I am using ethereal. Please help.

Well, it clearly runs full duplex I would imagine. I'm not sure what kind of help you're looking for here. Can't you see any traffic?

i guess what i am asking is using what protocol will I be able to view this information?

Well, it's all going to be IP traffic, but I don't know the intimate details of the VoIP operation. What are you trying to accomplish?

I'd think a better way to learn about the operation is to find a paper on the operation of VoIP, I'm sure there are tons of them on the web.

I am trying to see the final negotiation a device sets up.

Like I said, I'd suggest some remedial reading on VoIP operation so you know what to look for.

I am familiar with VOIP and suspect that it is a networking/link layer protocol like BACnet that initiates the negotiations. Anyone else?
