Networked Applications 1: Analyzing Network Performance of Websites

This report analyzes the network performance of three websites using Wireshark. The analysis includes examining load distribution, throughput, time sequence graphs, flow graphs, and window scaling graphs to assess the websites' efficiency and identify potential bottlenecks. The report provides a detailed breakdown of each website's performance, including the analysis of HTTP and TCP packets. The methodology involves capturing live data packets from the network and using Wireshark's analytical capabilities to generate various performance metrics. The conclusion highlights the effectiveness of Wireshark in identifying network traffic patterns and assessing website performance, concluding that the websites demonstrate stable performance and can handle a significant number of users. The report also provides insights into server IP addresses, window sizes, and other network characteristics. The report is well-structured, includes relevant graphs, and offers a conclusion based on the findings.

NETWORKED APPLICATIONS
Introduction
The report is set up for the examination of the four sites utilizing the expository ability and
Wireshark. Parcels are caught from the three sites and the execution of the site are investigated for
the readiness of the report. The three sites are assessed as far as the execution and the
appropriation of the heap is investigated with the assistance of production of a throughput, time
grouping, stream and window scaling chart. The three sites are broke down utilizing the Wireshark
arrange investigation apparatus for the age of various diagrams utilized for the examination of the
system execution. The live information bundles are caught from the system that aides in
recognizable proof of the reaction time and produce the succession chart. Diverse show channels are
connected for narrowing the scan for the investigation of the site and produce the chart from the
system. Checking of the information activity is finished by investigating the information parcels
caught between the customer and the goal.
Task 1
The http and the tcp packets captured from the network for the analysis of the three
websites are analysed for identification of the throughput of the website, distribution of the load,
flow graph, windows scaling graph. The network statistics are created from the captured packets and
the graphs are attached in the report for the demonstration of the performance of each of the
websites.

NETWORKED APPLICATIONS
 Load Distribution
For analysing the network load, load balancing is used.
 Throughput Graph
From the above screen capture, we can see that the average throughput is 1000000.

 Load Distribution
The heap on the http://www.cbsinteractive.com.au/server is dissected from that point caught
bundle on the system. The level of the utilization of the distinctive servers can be investigated with
the points of interest of the burts rate and the burst begin time examination.

 Time Sequence Graph
 Flow Graph
The stream of the information activity and the data is investigated for the advancement of the
system examination report for the site http://www.cbsinteractive.com.au/.
 Window Scaling Graph
