Plot packet loss?

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to know how many packets lost result of a capture of  UDP
traffic in a handover process. So, a wired host generates traffic UDP(via
Iperf) and a wireless client receives it, and in the middle of the capture
the client trigger the handover to another AP and then continues receiving
the traffic. Is not useful for me know just the number of packets lost in
the capture because probably I have some losses caused by the air and not
by the handover.

I want to plot the packets loss in the capture (time vs numbers of packets
lost) but I don't know exactly how.

Looking the packets in wireshark I've seen the field "identification" that
is a identificator number. So If i know what number  is missing I can know
how many packets were lost, however I can't export this packet's field from
wireshatk.

I really appreciate some guide, tip or help.


BTW: The I/O graph that shows wireshark shows the packets lost? or some
falls in the graph can be caused by packet's queuing?

Thanks in advance.
Regards.
