Jitter values for TCP Streams in Wireshark?


For the TCP stream, i want to get the Network Jitter values as shown for the RTP packets under RTP statistics as Max Jitter and Mean Jitter in Wireshark.

Is there any option in Wireshark which gives the Jitter values for a TCP stream.

I have only found graphs related to RTT, Throughput, Seq. no. and Windows scaling but nothing related to Jitter is there for TCP streams.

Anyone has idea how can i get the Jitter values in Wireshark for TCP stream?

Regards Nitin


Solution

  • I don't know of a way to calculate TCP jitter in Wireshark (or any other tool) but I assume that you could do this by comparing the deltas between the TCP timestamp fields and comparing to the actual arrival times.

    You can export received timestamp values by adding a custom column with the expression tcp.options.timestamp.tsval then exporting as CSV or XML
