Introduction
In Chapter 4, Using Basic Statistics Tools, we discussed the basic statistics tools such as lists of end users, conversations, capture summary, and more. In this chapter we will look at the advanced statistical tools such as the IO Graph, TCP stream graphs, and in brief, the UDP multicast streams as well.
The tools we will talk about here enable us to have a better look at the network. Here we have two major tools:
The IO Graph tool enables us to view statistical graphs for any predefined filter; for example, the throughput on a single IP address, the load between two or more hosts, the application throughput, the TCP phenomena distribution, and more
We will have a deeper look at a single TCP connection using the TCP stream graphs, with the ability to isolate TCP problems and their causes
In this chapter we will learn how to use the tools, and in the next chapters we will use them to isolate and solve networking problems.
