Dear all,

 

I’m currently using Wireshark v1.0.0 to analyse a Voice-over-802.11 session trace captured by the Airopeek Wifi sniffer. I extracted the RTP session and tried to use the Wireshark RTP statistics tool to examine the RTP packet loss rate. However, Wireshark did not give the actual RTP packet loss statistics, instead, what it gave was the statistics of the number of RTP packet retransmissions and regarded these retransmissions as packet losses. Obviously RTP packet retransmissions only could happen at the 802.11 layer, so this would rather be more like 802.11 packet loss statistics.

 

Could anybody let me know if this is the expected behaviour? If not, is there any patch/upgrade that fixes the issue? If yes unfortunately, is there any way I may get the packet loss statistics at the actual RTP layer using Wireshark? Much appreciated!

 

Kind regards,

Ji
