Plotting TCP Receive Window using I/O Graph

Hi,

The FTP transfer capture I'm looking at clearly shows TCP ZeroWindow occassionally and I want to graph this using I/O Graph in Wireshark v2.6.0, however it's not working like it want it to! :-)

I would like a graph thats is more or less a declining line whenever the receivers window is being used, with a clear "dip" whenever the window size reaches zero. This should be possible based on looking at a column showing tcp.window_size.

What I'm getting is more or a lot of peaks, with no clear indication when the window reaching zero.

I'm filtering on the source using ip.src=="ip of source" and a Y-field of tcp.window_size. I've tried every Y Axis calculation, but it seems what I'm really in need of is something that just graphs the value of the Y field, and not the Max, Min or AVG.

I'm guessing I'm doing this wrong - or at least I'm hoping - so can someone with knowledge on the subject help me out? :-)

Regards, Niels

I would like a graph thats is more or less a declining line whenever the receivers window is being used, with a clear "dip" whenever the window size reaches zero. This should be possible based on looking at a column showing tcp.window_size.

What I'm getting is more or less the opposite: a flat line at zero with a lot of peaks, with no clear indication when the window reaching zero.zero. This is really confusing, because the window size is nowhere near zero that often and also not as "bursty", but a reasonably stable declining value as one would expect.
