Network Performance Analysis Report for BN208, T1 2019, Uni Name

This report analyzes network performance using Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer. The report examines various network parameters including load distribution, throughput, time sequence, flow, and window-scaling graphs. The analysis is performed on data captured from several websites (http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/wireshark‐labs/INTRO‐wireshark‐file1.html, https://www.sbs.com.au/news/, https://www.amazon.com.au, http://howeverythingworks.org/, and http://www.radioau.net/) and the report includes screenshots of the graphs generated. The report identifies TCP, ICMP, and SSDP protocols and assesses time intervals for HTTP GET requests. The conclusion summarizes the demonstration of network analysis using Wireshark, emphasizing the usefulness of the various graphs in visualizing and understanding network performance. It also provides a bibliography of relevant research papers.

Introduction
The report deals with the analysis of different type of networks and obtaining the
results from the analysis. The results procured after the analysis would be included in this
report. The different type of networking parameters have been described in this report to
describe the reports obtained from the analysis of the different type of networks. The
different parameters such as the load distribution, throughput graph, time sequence graph,
flow graph and window-scaling graph have been demonstrated in this report. The website
used for the demonstration of the networking parameters are

https://www.sbs.com.au/news/, https://www.amazon.com.au, http://howeverythingworks.org/
and http://www.radioau.net/. The report demonstrates the connection factors involved with
the networking within this addresses.

Answer to question number a
The three different protocol that appears in the unfiltered packet listings are TCP, ICMP and
SSDP.
Answer to question number b
As per the screenshot provided above the time at HTTP GET was 25.8473228 and the
time at which the response was received was 26.307087. The time interval is 26.307087 –
25.8473228 = 0.4597642.
Answer to question number 3
The internet address of gaia.cs.umass.edu is 128.119.245.12
The address of my computer is 10.10.30.58.

TCP Stream Graph
The TCP stream graph has been developed above for the displaying the sequence
numbers over the course of time during the networking connection. From the graph it can be
easily seen that the graph is not uniform and the number of sequence increase with the
increase in the number of seconds as the connection is being established

NETWORKING APPLICATIONS
Time Sequence Graph
The time sequence graph shows that the sequence number is uniform after the
connection has been established within both the nodes in the network. The flow of data has
been uniform in between the network and this shows that network is a stable one and hence a
steady flow packet of data would be taking place. This helps the user to uninterrupted
services from the website that they are connecting to.
Conclusion
The report deals with the demonstration of network in between the host and the

and http://www.radioau.net/ websites. The demonstration have been done with the help of the
Wireshark network analyser software. The different type of graphs that are available in the
Wireshark network analyser software would be able to successfully demonstrate the load
distribution, throughput graph, time sequence graph, flow graph and window-scaling graph of

the network. The descriptions of the network has been aided with the inclusion of the graphs,
which would be provide a better visualization for the readers. The demonstration of the
networking constraints would also be easier with these graphs. Hence, the reader would be
successfully gain efficient knowledge on the networking parameters for the connection to the
different internet website with the help of this report.
