We are currently using Cisco's IPM to collect/report network latency.  The
problem that I frequently run into is vendors blaming performance problems
on the network and won't accept that results of this information.  They are
convinced that the network is doing something to their application only
either through the use of ACL's or QoS.  The graphs that could be produced
be this type of comparison would be specific to the vendors application and
a little harder to argue with the results.

You might want to use trace route to determine network latency
from point A to point B.

If you are trying to debug a tpc session than you can use
"Follow TCP Stream" under Tools to determine the time.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Network Traversal Time


Greetings!
I was wondering if Ethereal has the ability to show the time a packet takes
to traverse a network by comparing two capture files.  For example, a
packet enters the network at point A and is captured by Ethereal and a
second instance of Ethereal captures the same packet at network point B.
Then, by comparing the times that each packet was captured, be able to
compute the time it took for that packet to traverse between point A and
point B and ultimately be able to build a graph showing these times.

If this doesn't exist, would someone be able to point me in the right
direction as far as developing this capability?

Thanks All!
Steve
