If Wireshark isn’t capturing packets, this icon will be gray.

Square: If this is red, clicking it will stop a running packet capture.

Shark fin: If this is blue, clicking it will start a packet capture. If Wireshark is capturing packets, this icon will be gray.

Using this information available in matter of seconds, network administrator is able to identify possible network issues and thus it helps to troubleshoot the network.įollow this link to learn more about Network Performance Monitoring.

Network administrator wouldn’t know about this issue. Without having TCP Retransmission measurement available, Moreover, this issue is happening between IPs in the local network which may indicate issues on physical layer. Thousands of packets had to be retransmitted because they were damaged or lost. Although average delay and server response time is low, number of retransmissions is almost 17 thousands. In following communication lasting 85 second with 97.4MB of transferred data we can see high amount of retransmissions.

Response Time, delay and thus we can state that the communication proceeded without any major issues. For filtered communication we can see maximum of 16 retransmissions, low Server After specifying time interval and typing specificįilter I was able to see all TCP retransmissions in connection between specified IP addresses and other measured NPM metrics like Server Response Time, Jitter and Delay. Process of capturing the traffic and follow upĪnalysis took me several minutes, but using Flowmon Monitoring Center I was able to see the results within few clicks. Traffic was captured by Flowmon Packet Investigator and analyzed in Wireshark using filter for TCP retransmissions. Move your mouse cursor on picture below to see the difference. Number in two packets is the same, but Identification is different, we are talking about TCP retransmission. First is Sequence Number from TCP header (layer 4) and second is Identification from IP header (layer 3). So how is TCP retransmission identified? There are two parameters we need to focus on to determine whether TCP retransmission occurred. Retransmissions are essentially identical with Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ) and ensure reliability of TCP connection by resending damaged or lost packets. Packets, we are talking about TCP retransmission. When an ACK is not received, sender resends the packets after particular interval. In TCP connection sender waits for an ACK for the byte-range sent to the receiver. Let me firstly explain principle of TCP retransmissions. Look at TCP retransmissions, a new metric added to improve Network Performance Monitoring. Flowmon solution allows measuring various network metrics, which can help administrator to identify and troubleshoot network related issues.
