Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] About ethereal and rtp trafffic, packet loss

["Lars Ruoff" <Lars.Ruoff@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It is NOT a bug in the sense that currently it just applies the loss
calculation from RFC 3550 (RTP) by the letter (which has the property of
counting e.g. duplicate packets as negative losses).
Of course, we can always discuss wether this algorithm makes sense or not
and if we should for example count duplicate packets seperately. Note
however that there might be very complicated scenarios of lost/duplicate/out
of order packets.

A negative packet loss i thinks makes little or no sense as such it
might be a proportion of duplicates but that I think is a bug worth
being reported at http://bugs.ethereal.com

Max delta is the maximum time gap between two consecutive packets.
