Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Reporting only packets on ping test

Hello,

 

I’m just starting out with wireshark, but have a specific need which I’m having trouble finding a solution for.

 

After reading through the man pages of wireshark and haven't yet found whether it can give a report like this: I want to ping -t our Cisco 1700 over a period of, say, 12 hrs and have wireshark report only these ping packets and echos, what response time they have and if any drop out. Or can wireshark perform this very function on its own?

 

The reason I need to do this is that we have latency and packet dropping problems with our site-site ADSL VPN, which we've had to keep out of service until the problem has been fixed; signal to noise and line quality have passed all tests.

 

Any help would be great!

 

Phil
