Hallo

I have tested ethereal for one way delay measurements. Sometimes i get strange values, like negativ delay.

The Clocks of the PC`s are synchronized and so i compare the send and receive time of an frame by capturing on both sides.

But now my question:

Do Ethereal uses the system clock for generate the time information in the capture? If no please tell me which clock ethereal use.


Thanks
