Hi,

my understanding is that Anders was referring to the field you are looking
at (each packet being timestamped by WinPcap).

Pascal.

Hi,

If you are talking about the packet timestamps they are delivered by
Winpcap together with the packet data in case of real time capturing.

Google “winpcap time stamps” for further reading.

Anders

Hello,



I need to know how does Wireshark gets the absolute arrival time of a
packet in windows system? I saw in the code and found that
GetSystemTimeAsFileTime() is used to get the system time in windows but the
code at that point doesn’t hit. From where is the time being taken by
Wireshark while capturing?



Any help would be appreciated.



Thanks
