The graphical interface of wireshark is great for looking at packet flows, sequence numbers, and graphing conversations or ACK timings.īut sometimes it is helpful to screen a capture before you spend the time looking at it manually. It may seem intimidating to look at packet captures, but once you dive in, you’ll find how useful it can be. This is much faster than guessing at the source of the problem, as it can eradicate any false assumptions you have about the network. When things aren’t working as expected, the best thing you can do is to take a packet capture (pcap) and look at what’s actually going on.
