Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] FW: Accuracy of wireshark

Dear Jaap
thanks for your answer.

I'd like to add some information to explain better.
My accuracy can be in ms (I don't need ns) because my requirements are 

Delta time <= 150 ms
Delta time <= 100 ms
Delta time <= 50 ms

My problem is only to convince other people that Wireshark is a right tool to verify that time requirements are respected.
Moreover I need to convince them that we can analyze all the packets on the interface with Wireshark and analyze the TCP data field.

Do you have any Test Report or papers you have written containing your results during validation of Wireshark I can use to do this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Best Regards

Hi,

If you want to have high precision guaranteed capture then go with a hardware solution. Turbocap would be something I would look at:

Thanks,
