Hi,

What you can do is script editcap to leave out a random distribution of packets from a base capture.

The negative packet loss percentage is probably the statistics going haywire over code changes, loosing track of what sequence number begin, end and possibly rollover has taken place.

Thanks,
Jaap

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!
