Analyzing network bottlenecks, issues, and troubleshooting

The problems and troubleshooting discussed in the previous recipes are mostly related, and may result in networking bottleneck issues. Any misbehaving link or router introducing a delay, or a network design with poor capacity planning, may result in bandwidth bottleneck issues, causing end-to-end application performance to suffer.

In this recipe, we will see how to use Wireshark to analyze bottleneck issues.

Getting ready

In order to identify bottleneck issues, we may need to reiterate the capture at multiple locations for analysis and bottleneck isolation. Ideally, packet capture at endpoints will be a good start to identify the application traffic that is impacted...
