> That will only work when the clocks of HostA and HostWireshark are synchonized.

Good point.  On the other hand, there may be cases when they are synchronized
(if they're using NTP for instance), or the capture timestamps could be altered
later using editcap to match the HostA computer's clock.  Still, the results
could be misleading if that's not the case, and in fact part of the total
round-trip time is a guess anyway.  But maybe there's some value in presenting
a best guess estimate regardless ... as long as users are aware that it's only
an estimate, that is?

Or we just close this bug?  Which I'm fine with too.
