Hi Stuart,

To check whether tshark is using TCP timestamps run:
$ tshark -G currentprefs | grep tcp.calculate_timestamps
#tcp.calculate_timestamps: FALSE

To enable TCP timestamps use:
tshark -r FS01.pcap -o tcp.calculate_timestamps:TRUE -R "(tcp.dstport==445)"
-qz io,stat,600,"MIN(tcp.time_delta)tcp.time_delta" -qz io,stat,600,"SUM(tcp.time_delta)tcp.time_delta"
-z io,stat,600,"MAX(tcp.time_delta)tcp.time_delta" -z io,stat,600,"AVG(tcp.time_delta)tcp.time_delta"
-z io,stat,600,"COUNT(tcp.time_delta)tcp.time_delta"

Output:

Note
SUM(<field>) can only be used on named fields of integer type. This will
sum together every occurrence of this field's value for each interval.
