Hi! Wireshark just crashed "segmentation fault", so I can't tell for the long trace, unless its possible to extract from the file logged to disk...............
I ran a short 4min 10000 packet trace and 0 packets "Lost" at the bottom of the screen. Do note I use the latest versions of all software as noted.......................
I'm running a longer one again now.........................
