Wireshark, Bluetooth interface, identify errors in frames/re-transmissions

Question

I'm using WireShark on Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. I listen to bluetooth0 interface while transferring a file from my laptop to my smartphone over Bluetooth(using Blueman). Without any transfer, I get packets for protocols: HCI_EVT and HCI_CMD to obtain Tx Power Level, RSSI, and Link Quality which makes sense.

When I transfer a file, I get additionally, L2CAP packets.

My goal is to filter only packets with fragmentation/packet/any loss/re-transmission error. I'm not perfectly familiar with the Bluetooth protocol, I have tried several filters from here: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/b/btl2cap.html

Any knowledge regarding the possibility to filter packets with fragmentation/packet/any loss/re-transmission error would really help.

Answer 1

I found a solution, and wrote a python script for it. The filter was btl2cap.retransmittimeout and the code(which uses pyshark):

import pyshark

class SniffPacket(object):
    def sniff(self):
        capture = pyshark.LiveCapture(interface='bluetooth0', display_filter='btl2cap.retransmittimeout')
        try:
            capture.sniff(timeout=20)
        except:
            pass
        return capture

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(f'Initiate sniffer...')
    capture = SniffPacket().sniff()
    print('Sniffer complete, parse data...')
    ct = 0
    try:
        while True:
            res = str(capture.next_packet())
            ct += 1
    except:
        pass
    print('Retransmitted packets: ' + str(ct))
