Yes, I am interested in the time spent between the two machines. On Jan 31, 2011, at 12:51 PM, Guy Harris <guy () alum mit edu> wrote:

I don't know whether such a program exists - and the accuracy of the time delta will depend on the accuracy of the time stamps and, by default, there are a number of reasons why the time stamp might not be as accurate as you'd like (low resolution of the timer used by the OS to time-stamp the packets, delays between the point at which a packet being sent is time-stamped and the point at which the packet is put on the wire, delays between the point at which a packet is received and the point at which it's time-stamped). ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
