If you have access to a linux or unix 1 machine, you should use tcptrace . All you have to do is cycle your binary traffic test when capturing wireshark or tcpdump .
After this file .pcap 2, analyze with tcptrace -xtraffic <pcap_filename> 3 . This will create two text files, and the average RTT statistics for all connections in this pcap will be shown at the bottom of the page under the name traffic_stats.dat.

The file .pcapused in this example was a capture that I generated when I was looping over a expectscript that pulled data from one of my servers. So I created a loop ...
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE
import time
for ii in xrange(0,200):
Popen(['./willers.exp'], stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE, stderr=PIPE)
time.sleep(1)
accept() .
