Here is a brief description of each type of Control Frame & how you can filter them in wireshark. So below figure shows the different type of control frames. The type ( always 1 for control frames) & subtype fields identify the function of a frame.


Unlike management & data frames, Control frames does not have a frame body. 802.11 Control Frames assist with the delivery of Data & Management frames.
