Dear Jaap
thanks for your answer.

I'd like to add some information to explain better.
My accuracy can be in ms (I don't need ns) because my requirements are 

Delta time <= 150 ms
Delta time <= 100 ms
Delta time <= 50 ms

My problem is only to convince other people that Wireshark is a right tool to verify that time requirements are 
respected.
Moreover I need to convince them that we can analyze all the packets on the interface with Wireshark and analyze the 
TCP data field.

Do you have any Test Report or papers you have written containing your results during validation of Wireshark I can use 
to do this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best Regards

Elisabetta Marinucci

Hi,

If you want to have high precision guaranteed capture then go with a hardware solution. Turbocap would be something I 
would look at:

Thanks,

Dear all

we'd like to use wireshark tool to validate our network system in 
terms of packets exchanged and time.

We will need to verify that certain packets are exchanged and verify 
the time between request and response on Ethernet interface on PC with 
Windows server
2003 syncronized by NTP version 4 with a GPS server.

Do you have any Test Report or document that qualify the tool in term 
of its correct work?

Do you have any document or Test Report that demonstrates that 
wireshark is able to capture all the packets exchanged and to measure 
the time difference with correct accuracy?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best Regards
