Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Rate

I looked at a much smaller capture. Use Summary to see the length of the full capture and the packet rate and see my calc works out.

It is probably relatively easy to find the actual calc in the source code,

Hi Martin,

My whole 540,000 packet capture did not last as long :-)

Here is what I see:

Packet Lengths Count Rate Percent
============== ===== ==== =======
0-19 0 0.000000 0.00%
20-39 0 0.000000 0.00%
40-79 346428 1.390815 64.15%
80-159 31117 0.124926 5.76%
160-319 34853 0.139925 6.45%
320-639 25546 0.102560 4.73%
640-1279 6898 0.027694 1.28%
1280-2559 20162 0.080945 3.73%
2560-5119 8674 0.034824 1.61%
5120- 66322 0.266265 12.28%


I have no clue what 1.390815 means for example under the Rate column.

Thanks ahead,

János

Hi,

What is the measuring unit in the Statistics -> Packet Lengths ->  Packet Lengths window for the Rate column ?  Is it Mbit/s ?

Thanks ahead,

János
