| Topic: |
Wireshark Ethereal |
| |
Measuring Throughput and Performance with Wireshark Ethereal. We will focus on Wireshark-Ethereal protocol analyzer, throughput, bandwidth and packet latency. We will examine network latency. Answering key questions such as: How do we measure latency? How does latency affect your data through put? How do we measure throughput? What are the key components of throughput? What really hurts response time? We will use a case study “Fast Network, Slow Server” and review a sniffer trace file exploring the components of throughput. In reviewing the sniffer trace file we will show how to measure performance, looking for the bottle necks of throughput. Then we will graph the results, and do all of this using Wireshark-Ethereal protocol analyzer
