2 Answers:
for all of those values, you need a capture point near the sender and a second capture point near the receiver. Only then you would be able to calculate those values. Unfortunately, there is no support within Wireshark to read both capture files and calculate the values automatically, so you will have to do that yourself with scripting (parse tshark output) or with a Lua Listener.

If you want to measure UDP throughput, packet loss and jitter between server and client it's best to use nuttcp ( iperf is also ok but not as robust ). Pick latest version from here: http://www.wcisd.hpc.mil/nuttcp/ And here you can find tutorial answered 11 Jan '13, 04:25  izopizo |
thnkss alot kurt.. is dere any video tutorial for this..??
kurt can u do this for me plzz i dnt know how to do this plzz m very new in wirshrk.:(
I don't think so.
I'm sorry, but I don't have time for that kind of public "support", as it would be a lot of work.
If I knew a tutorial or an available tool, I would post it here, but unfortunately I don't know either.
If I had to do it, I would most certainly use Perl or Python together with a pcap library to extract the required data. For your requirements, the functionality of wireshark/tshark would not be necessary.
thnkss kurt.
you're welcome
