Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Jitter wrong in wireshark?

Hi Anders,

Yes, your are right. Codecs affect jitter calculation because of the sampling frequency. In practice, it affects when calculating the timestamp to seconds. I.e: when multipling timestamp ticks to convert to seconds one must use the frequency sampling of the current codec. As wireshark uses always 0.000125 (it looks like this is not configurable), then if codec is not G711 calculations will be wrong. 

And that´s my case :(
