Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] nsec Timestamp Resolution

Hello,

 

I was reading on the Wireshark wiki that pcap can support nsec timestamps (versus usec) and that Wireshark supports this time display.

 

Can anyone comment if they have tried this out with an analyzer / capture device that supports nsec timestamps? 

 

My company builds a analyzer that provides nsec timestamps and when I convert our format to pcap (with Wild Packets ProConvert), I suspect that the conversion is dropping the nsec time since when I open in Wireshark, I only see usec.

 

I am trying to determine what fields in pcap format need to be set so that Wireshark can display nsec.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Barry
