Networked Application Management (MN504): Wireshark Analysis Report

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of network packets using Wireshark. It begins with an introduction to network management and the role of Wireshark as a packet capture tool. The report is divided into several parts, starting with general statistics on captured packets, including time spans and average packets per second for web transfer and live stream scenarios. It then delves into detailed analysis of network performance metrics such as throughput and round trip time, comparing the behavior of different network traffic types. Further analysis focuses on retransmission and packet loss, discussing their impact on network performance. The report also compares Wireshark with other network analysis tools like Microsoft Message Analyzer, highlighting their features and ease of use. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of packet-level analysis for identifying and resolving network issues. The report includes references to relevant literature and tools used in the analysis.
