This dialog shows the following information:

  Notable information about the capture file.

  Time
    The timestamps of the first and the last packet in the file along with their difference.
  Capture
    Information about the capture environment. This will only be shown for live captures or if this information is present in a saved capture file. The pcapng format supports this, while pcap doesn’t.

The values in the Captured column will remain the same as before, while the values in the Displayed column will reflect the values corresponding to the packets shown in the display. The values in the Marked column will reflect the values corresponding to the marked packets.
