A follow-up to that thread is that is it possible to use [IP::stats pkts in] and [IP::stats pkts out] to guage how accurate the TCP::rtt time is? The thread seem to imply that the more packets have been exchanged, the more accurate the time becomes. So, if we ignore the data until say 10 packets have been exchanged?

 

 

Do both inbound and outbound packets affect this or just on direction?

 

 

Thanks!
