Hello,

I have a very basic question.
There is the colum of Time on Ethereal.
I'd like to know what "Time" mean.
What is Time=0.0000?
Is the unit [sec]? or any other special unit?

ex. I got the following log. In this case, does this mean that the packet was 
sent 0.470679sec after capturing start?

No.     Time        Source                Destination           Protocol Info
      2 0.470679    192.168.128.1         224.0.0.9             RIPv2    Respo

Thank you in advance.
