Hello
I'm working in my final project, it's:
MEASURING ROUND TRIP TIMES TO DETERMINE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN WLAN NODES
It's very very important for me knows the time at which the packets arrive
at the wlan card.
Now, I have this problem.
For example, sometimes the ICMP request is timestamped later than the ICMP
reply.
Do you know how i can resolve this problem?
I'm using Windows XP Home and toshiba m70-155 lap top.
Maybe is better use other OS? For example WindowsXP Professional.

Why the frames and the timetamps aren't in the same order?
For example, in this figure:
Why the frame 38 is before in time than the frame 39?
-- frame 38 --> 4.781393s
-- frame 39 --> 4.781360s
Because some OSes apparently have the annoying habit of not delivering
packets to the mechanism used by libpcap in the order in which they're
time-stamped (note that the time at which a packet is time-stamped could be
different from the time at which it arrived at the host's network adapter).
(Is this Linux? Is it on a multiprocessor machine?)
