Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] end-to-end delay calculation

[<juan.wortley@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Fabiana,

 

the only way to do that is if you know the time difference between the machines.

It´s not so easy however if you use windows you could try synchronizing both endpoints by using:

w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:[IP to synchronize to] /update /syncfromflags:MANUAL

 

and then monitor the time difference with:

w32tm /stripchart /computer:[IP to synchronize to]

 

,you always can have a delay reference by pinging and dividing by 2 the RTT.

 

HTH

Juan

so ... it is not reliable if i substract the time i hav in the client minus the time i have in the server to get my end the end delay?

It is within the limits of ntp.  Unless there is a WAN involved, the
packets are flying around at an order of magnitude faster than what ntp
can provide (ms resolution)
