Wireshark can't do this, but you can simply run the capture file through Ostermann's tcptrace <http://www.tcptrace.org/> to produce a graph of the number of open connections over time. The options would be something like this:
I think you're over thinking this. If you bring up the conversation list, you can see all the TCP connections. The thing is that display doesn't sort by time by default. Bring up the table (Statistics, Conversations, TCP) then sort by REL START time. Since you have the start time and duration, you can quickly copy it into a spreadsheet and produce a chart that shows the active connections. Email me at hbae at nyc.rr.com if you want to see an example. -- Thanks, Hansang ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
