Hi,
I don't know of anyone who has done validation of Wireshark in this regard. Even
if they did I will be thrown out, because it's the capture engine that
timestamps the frames, not Wireshark. Please study the design of Wireshark[1]
and WinPcap[2] a little closer to understand the difference.
As of WinPcap, again look into the documents listed[2] (you should have no
problem reading them), or contact the designers at Riverbed, WinPcap home.
Thanks,
Jaap

Dear Jaap
thanks for your answer.
I'd like to add some information to explain better.
My accuracy can be in ms (I don't need ns) because my requirements are
Delta time<= 150 ms
Delta time<= 100 ms
Delta time<= 50 ms
My problem is only to convince other people that Wireshark is a right tool to verify that time requirements are respected.
Moreover I need to convince them that we can analyze all the packets on the interface with Wireshark and analyze the TCP data field.
Do you have any Test Report or papers you have written containing your results during validation of Wireshark I can use to do this?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Hi,
If you want to have high precision guaranteed capture then go with a hardware solution. Turbocap would be something I would look at:

Dear all
we'd like to use wireshark tool to validate our network system in
terms of packets exchanged and time.
We will need to verify that certain packets are exchanged and verify
the time between request and response on Ethernet interface on PC with
Windows server
2003 syncronized by NTP version 4 with a GPS server.
Do you have any Test Report or document that qualify the tool in term
of its correct work?
Do you have any document or Test Report that demonstrates that
wireshark is able to capture all the packets exchanged and to measure
the time difference with correct accuracy?
Thanks a lot for your help.
