JCU CP2409: Network Forensic and Data Communication Performance Report

This report analyzes the network performance issues faced by SellAll, focusing on slow traffic and file transfer problems. The student utilized Wireshark to examine the packet capture (SellAll.pcapng) and diagnose the root causes of the performance bottlenecks. The analysis delves into the OSI model, examining each layer from the physical layer to the application layer, to identify where the issues originate. The report discusses the functionalities of each layer and how they contribute to the overall network performance. The report also investigates the symptoms of network performance issues, including slow connections, disconnections, and service outages. Furthermore, the report explores the potential causes of these issues, such as hardware failures, network configuration problems, bandwidth congestion, and latency. The report concludes with a discussion of the analysis process and the tools used to detect and resolve the problems faced by SellAll. The report provides a detailed breakdown of the network performance issues and offers insights into troubleshooting techniques.
