I started working on ensuring that SRT (service response time) stats that are available in Wireshark are also 
available in TShark (taking bug 9363 a step farther).  I initially collected my data by doing a grep on ",srt" and 
comparing the filenames it showed up on in \ui\cli and \ui\gtk.  The initial list showed a big disparity between what 
was supported in Wireshark and what was supported in TShark.  After digging a little deeper, I came to realize that 
the disparity isn't that great, it's just some of the TShark stats use ",rtd" (response time delay) as their stat tap 
name.
 
So my first question would be - what's the difference?  It appears the computation is different,

Is that "different" as in "they have no columns in common" or "different" as in "they have some columns in common but 
one or both of them have columns that the others don't"?

but then why did the Wireshark stat tap names that use ",rtd" in TShark use ",srt" in the first place?

I.e., some Wireshark taps that have "{protocol},srt" as the name actually do RTD-style rather than SRT-style statistics?
