Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] Server Response times

[Ian Schorr <spamcontrol2@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I find it exceedingly helpful when looking at SMB and ONC/RPC-based 
traffic to use the "smb.time" and "rpc.time" fields to look at server 
response times, and responsiveness of particular servers/applications in 
client/server interactions.

I've been looking through other dissectors, like Kerberos, SNMP, HTTP, 
and others, and noticed that no such filterable field exists (in fact, 
I'm very surprised how few filterable options exist in many of these 
dissectors)

Am I just missing something?  Or does anyone have any suggestions on how 
to obtain this kind of information with filters (beyond the obvious - 
"implement the fields in the dissectors")?  Looking at TCP ack times, 
frame/record delta times, etc. are usually meaningless or potentially 
misleading when trying to measure server/application response times.

Thanks,
Ian
