Hi SoftPerfect Team,

I'm looking into the Connection Emulator for some tests I'm working on.
When enabling packet capture, is it possible to set Snaplen to a smaller amount? I'm planning captures of ~10-15 min and don't need all the details in the packets (I don't need to save any payload); limiting the Snaplen to 64 bytes will allow me to have much smaller pcap files.

Thanks

Thank you for the suggestion. We have added the Packet size limit setting in the latest build:
