Scapy has the capability to modify timestamps on a per packet basis therefore am wondering what might be the best way to modify the the timestamps on a number of packets in a PCAP by specifying a start value. I am able to modify the packets but have yet to successfully increment the microseconds value.
For example would like to modify packets timestamps in a PCAP which contains:

to the following:

This seems to work:
def process_packets():
pkts = rdpcap(infile)
cooked=[]
timestamp = 1234567890.000000
for p in pkts:
p.time = timestamp
timestamp += 0.000001
pmod=p
cooked.append(pmod)
wrpcap("dump.pcap", cooked)
Code will write new time value for each packet to a new PCAP with the specified second and increment the microsecond value. If there's a more graceful method, please let me know.
