Note that some differences might be due to a tap being graphical, so 
that it's unavailable in Tethereal.

I think SRT (Service Response Time) is the current term.

Note that a "-R" filter could be used in Tethereal in a fashion that 
doesn't involve displaying (e.g., "tethereal -i en0 -w only-nfs.pcap -R 
nfs"), which was the reason I coined the phrase "read filter" for the 
use of Ethereal filter expressions in Tethereal.  (I.e., the different 
terms aren't the result of the documents drifting apart, they were 
intentionally made different.)
