Emiliano,

For TCP, you can see round trip time (sum of delay in both directions)
graphically by going to the Statistics/TCP Stream Graph/Round Trip Time
Graph menu. It will show the delay in axis Y vs. packet number in axis X.

It is impossible to measure delay with a Sniffer capture in UDP traffic as
there are no acknowledgments from the receiving side. It is also impossible
to measure one-way delay with a Sniffer capture. The only way to do it is by
using a dedicated hardware such as SmartBits that will capture traffic in
both sides and measure delay.

Ciao,

Daniel

HI, I have a problem with ethereal , when I am sniffing my network i
see every packet twice, but when I turn off the option of "Capture
packet in promiscuous mode" then the packets don4t are duplicated,
why?

Because when I sniffing VoIP with SIP and RTP, the analize show me
every packet twice...and that is no good for what I4m doing...

Thanks and I4m sorry by my english because i dont know how to write
english well...

Hi, I dont know how to write so much english but i will try.


I4m using ethereal for analyze of VoIP with sip or h323 with RTP, but
when I make a call and capture packet and then I go to Statistic-->
RTP--> Show All Streams I can  see the 2 streams, from A -> B and B ->
A, BUT one of the 2 streams have Max jitter = 0, Min jitter = 0, Maz
Delta =0, why? what i have to do in ethereal to fix it?

If I select a streams and then click on Analize i see everey packet
are Ok, but if i select the reversed  direction i don4t see anything,
but if i select the other streamsn and click on Analize I can see the
analyze but if click on reversed direction and don4t see anything...


That is a problem for what I want to do, i need to see the statistics
for both streams...

And other point, if saw in a analisis there were 2 packet loss of
43000, but ethereal show me  packet loss = 2 (30%)  , why 30 % if only
was 2 packet?

Is there any manual , which tell me how to interpret all this values?

Thanks..

Hi, I am using ethereal to analyze traffic RTP and SIp on WLAN, bbut i
only have 2 laptop with WI-FI and dont have 30 laptop to generate 15
calls, then I want to simulate many call on the WLAN, i found out a
tools called rtpplay but there is few doc about this, i want to konw
is there are people who have been used that to explain me o give a
example... I want to generate packet with rtplay or rtpsend if this
were and normal call...

Or are there other tools to generate traffic rtp free because i have
been found out and almost all aren4t free or only generate traffic SIP
but not RTP...

I would recommend SIPp: http://sipp.sourceforge.net/ (not only because I'm
deeply involved in it :) )

It allows to generate both SIP and RTP load (since 1.1rc4).

Hello,
following setup:
We have some captured RANAP data, they were captured and presented by some
proprietary analyzer over the common stack (i.e. AAL-5,
SCCOP,MTP3b,SCCP, RANAP). It is possible to store the data in plain
text format.
I have seen in the mailing list archive that someone has experimented
with text2pcap +
some heavy modifications of the protocols below RANAP, so that it looks like
RANAP on top of SIGTRAN but as I understood, ethereal crashed and
the versions of MTP3 was set to Chinese etc.
So, questions: Were some generalization work done that would alow to put
the SIGTRAN protocols below the text version of  captured protocols
like RANAP how ever one needs them? Could someone share his experiences
about using text2pcap for purposes like described above?

Hi,

Can Ethereal calculate the packet delay (latency)parameter for TCP and UDP
stream? y

SIGTRAN is well understood in ethereal. The best thing to do is to  
take your MTP3 frames and build pseudo ethernet/SCTP/M2PA frames  
around your captured MTP3 packets and omit the weird lower layers. I  
guess this needs some small programms or clever scripts.

In the Windows version of the 0.10.14 release, the capture filter
doesn't function. I set it, leave the dialog box, come back into the
dialog box, and it's unset. I set it again, I do a save, I close the
dialog box, I come back in, and it's unset again. I set it again, I save
it, I even leave the dialog box open, and then I do a capture. IT
CAPTURES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! The capture filter DOES NOT WORK.
 
Then I thought, well....maybe it's not sophisticated enough to filter
during the capture (by setting the filter in advance). Maybe it can only
filter out the unwanted captured packets, from the display. So I ran a
capture and then tried to filter the captured packets after the fact.
Nope. That doesn't work, either, so that must not be it.
 
The product isn't much good without a working capture filter.

Oh thanks, I founf this before, but in widows it didn4t work and I
used this in linux and only can simulate traffic SIP, but  no RTP, to
generate traffic RTP need I and file wiht the payload? , Need I a
application  in the other host listening on the destination port?  Do
you have any example?

Thanks..

Ethereal is a mature product and well tested. Capture filters work
perfectly well, but the correct syntax isn't always obvious. 

What are you trying to accomplish?

With the "Capture Filters" dialogue, you are able to pre-define
capture filters and give them a name. You will have to *select* a
defined capture-filter (or build one ad-hoc) in the "Capture options"
dialogue box, just click on the "Capture filter" button or define
one yourself in the text-area next to it.

If you want to apply a filter *after* capturing, you will need
to use a display filter, not a capture filter.

That's why ethereal is so great, it has good capture filters and
it's display-filters are unbeaten by any other product IMHO.

I hope this helps, otherwise there is always the friendly manual
(available on www.ethereal.com)


Good luck,   Sake

Basically, this is a driver problem, it strips the 802.1Q tags 
from the frame before passing it to higher protocols.

Please have a look at http://wiki.ethereal.com/CaptureSetup/VLAN
This helped me in getting the 802.1Q tags to be shown in ethereal.
(My laptop has broadcom hardware, but I believe there is also info
for 3com hardware on that page.)


Cheers,   Sake
