Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] How can I achieve this in wireshark/tshark (dual sniff WAN ana

I am investigating a possible WAN issue, where occasionally packet drops & bursts of latency are impacting users.

 

I have two wireshark sniffers set up, each spanning one end of the WAN link, with both machines NTP time synced.

 

Comparing the captured data from both sniffers visually, I can see data being transmitted/received across the link, and determine if a packet has been transmitted & not received, and individual packet latency.

 

What I need is a means (scripted ?) of comparing the files and reporting on the latency packetdrop.

The output would be a simple text file like this
