Hello all,

I had a question on the timing of how wireshark/tshark writes to disk.

I have some data streams I need to capture, comes out to about 6gig of data per day.  I need to make sure I don’t drop any info from the box and my fear is the time it takes to write to disk.

 

Does Wireshark/Tshark put the sequence number on the packet before it writes to disk?  If so then I could just look for lost sequence numbers to let me know I have lost packets.  Tried looking on the site and did not see an answer to this one, so I figured someone here could help me out.

 

Thanks,
Javier
