Socket and Timestamping

[SalemAlqahtani]

Hi there,

I am trying to do a socket connection between raspberry pi and my laptop through socket connection. This part is sort of easy but I have not implement it yet but need to do something more. I want to implement time stamping for each packet I send and I receive in server (laptop side). In other words, Once I take picture through raspberry pi camera, I am trying to send that picture through socket. before I do so, I want to take a time stamping for that picture and send it and when it received by server I need to take another time stamping. so, in this case I will find out how long my picture or image that i uploaded from pi takes to be in server side. Then I want to send ACK packet to the pi and do the same scenario. I am trying to learn who it's working but i could not. please i need some guidance.

Sincerely

You should probably post this in one of the programming language sections, along with what type of socket connection you are trying to use. Without knowing the language, socket/protocol type and any socket abstraction layer you may be using, it's impossible to answer. But as a quick kind-a useless answer it's probably not a good idea to do this at the socket level as you will not get reliable results since there is no guarantee of packet delivery ordering.
