How to fully understand packet sniffer?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2430

Hi,

I am using cc2430 with packet sniffer. After reading the user manual for it for a few times, I am still confused. The manual did not explain the packet formats in detail. For example, I really do not know what  terms like 'MAC payload', 'frame control fields' exactly mean. I googled these terms but found no good explanation. Also, Source address can be 0x0000 sometimes and can be 0x2726252423220008 sometimes. How could the number of bits change for the same variable?

Could somebody tell me how to use packet sniffer or refer me to other materials about this software? Thanks a lot.
