Service Response Time | Lucent Technologies Ethereal instruction

Statistics

8.7. Service Response Time

The service response time is the time between a request and the corresponding response. This in- formation is available for many protocols.

Service response time statistics are currently available for the following protocols:

•DCE-RPC

•Fibre Channel

•H.225 RAS

•LDAP

•MGCP

•ONC-RPC

•SMB

As an example, the DCE-RPC service response time is described in more detail.

Note!

The other Service Response Time windows will work the same way (or only slightly different) compared to the following description.

8.7.1. The "Service Response Time DCE-RPC" window

The service response time of DCE-RPC is the time between the request and the corresponding re- sponse.

First of all, you have to select the DCE-RPC interface:

Figure 8.6. The "Compute DCE-RPC statistics" window

You can optionally set a display filter, to reduce the amount of packets.
