What is the best converter used for converting pcapng format to pcap file format.
It seems that it is possible to convert .pcapng files to .pcap using Wireshark's Tshark command line utility by using the following command:
tshark -F pcap -r {pcapng file} -w {pcap file}
But apparently, this does not work for every type of .pcapng files. PCAP format does not support interfaces with more than one link-layer header type with packets from interfaces with different link-layer header types.

Unfortunately, there is no detailed software record in the database for this conversion.
