Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] about Packet loss in wireshark

Thank you. What I want to do is to simulate packet losses by removing some packets from my captured packets with a certain probability. Is there any other method that can achieve this?

Wireshark only discards traffic on an interface on the basis for the capture filters. There are no random discard filters (or other math-like ones that would be suitable.

If I want to simulate a lossy network, I use the "netem" functionality built into to the Linux kernel to good effect. (Basically you setup a Linux box as a bridge and then use the "tc" commands to alter the traffic control paramters of the interfaces.

Hi, all:

  I captured some packets in my experiment. Is it possible to randomly discard some packets with a certain probability from the captured packets using wireshark?

  Besides, does anyone know the meaning of "minus packet loss" in wireshark, as shown in the attached pktloss.jpg? Thank you!
