But struct timespec is sec/nanosec. I look at nanoseconds of accuracy for other things today (I don't always get as close as I'd like, but thats another problem :).. Odds are that we won't actually be able to get real nanosec accuracy for a few years on most platforms, but it seems silly to artificially limit ourselves. As faster links (10GE/OC192/768) and faster computers come online we may want to be able to differentiate packets at finer timescale resolution than usec allows (this becomes more possible with hardware collectors, etc...). > also, what are the benefits of having the timezone in the dump file set > [to anything other than 0]? > i'd rather see the local time where the dump was collected than my local > time at that moment. > and if i do want to see what hour it was at my location, i can export TZ > before running tcpdump -r as was pointed out on this list back in december. > > -alexm > 15:37 26/03/2004 > > > > - > This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
