Various TCP enhancements have been introduced over a period of time to augment the TCP performance. In this section, we will discuss a couple of these important enhancements and see how Wireshark can be used to analyze the same.
TCP enhancements – selective ACK and timestamps
Getting ready
When you observe that the TCP flow performance is degraded and is not working as expected, connect Wireshark to capture the TCP flow for analysis.
How to do it...
For backward compatibility, a feature enhancement like selective ACK (SACK) or TCP timestamp will be negotiated during...
