I have quite a lot of high delta times from receiving multicast. What does it mean in general? How did the delta time calculated?

One Answer:
The "delta time" is exactly whatever you originally created the column to be: If you created the column it using Edit ! Preferences | Columns and selected "Delta Time", the time is the "Time delta from previous captured frame". If you sort the frames by "No." the difference between the time for a frame and the time for the previous frame should be equal to the Delta Time. A "high delta time" just means that at times frames were received at a low rate. Again, if you sort by the "No." column and then look at one of the frames with a high delta time, you should see that the frame was received after not receiveing any frames for the "delta time" interval. answered 02 Jan '13, 19:56  Bill Meier ♦♦ edited 02 Jan '13, 20:01 |
And be sure to pay attention to which delta time you choose. There are a few (self explanatory) so just pay attention.
