So I need to measure
the traffic in bytes between two endpoints. If I set up Wireshark on a laptop
whose interface is enabled for promiscuous mode and specify a capture filter
between the source and destination IP addresses that I am interested in and
capture to a file then will that file size be an accurate reflection of the
traffic between the two endpoint.
Does Wireshark add
any overhead to the capture file that I need to take into account by subtracting
it from the captured file size to get a accurate traffic figure which I require
to set up bandwidth management filters.
Can anybody help
?
Thanks in Advance, Henry.
