Overview of this book

Is your network slow? Are your users complaining? Disconnections? IP Telephony problems? Video freezes? Network analysis is the process of isolating these problems and fixing them, and Wireshark has long been the most popular network analyzer for achieving this goal. Based on hundreds of solved cases, Network Analysis using Wireshark Cookbook provides you with practical recipes for effective Wireshark network analysis to analyze and troubleshoot your network. "Network analysis using Wireshark Cookbook" highlights the operations of Wireshark as a network analyzer tool. This book provides you with a set of practical recipes to help you solve any problems in your network using a step-by-step approach. "Network analysis using Wireshark Cookbook" starts by discussing the capabilities of Wireshark, such as the statistical tools and the expert system, capture and display filters, and how to use them. The book then guides you through the details of the main networking protocols, that is, Ethernet, LAN switching, and TCP/IP, and then discusses the details of application protocols and their behavior over the network. Among the application protocols that are discussed in the book are standard Internet protocols like HTTP, mail protocols, FTP, and DNS, along with the behavior of databases, terminal server clients, Citrix, and other applications that are common in the IT environment. In a bottom-up troubleshooting approach, the book goes up through the layers of the OSI reference model explaining how to resolve networking problems. The book starts from Ethernet and LAN switching, through IP, and then on to TCP/UDP with a focus on TCP performance problems. It also focuses on WLAN security. Then, we go through application behavior issues including HTTP, mail, DNS, and other common protocols. The book finishes with a look at network forensics and how to search and find security problems that might harm the network.

Some additional tools

Although Wireshark is by far the most common network analysis tool on the market, there are also many other network troubleshooting tools that I use a lot. Before getting into the details, I would like to go back some years to one of the funniest network problems I've ever had. The case itself was very simple, but it comes with an important lesson. It had to do with a network in a warehouse of a big hospital. The warehouse workers were equipped with wireless terminals, taking medication as needed and conveying it to the various departments of the hospital. The problem was that all the terminals worked very slowly. They called an integration company to help them with the problem, and these guys came in with every piece of troubleshooting equipment ever made. They came with Wireshark, Sniffer, wireless analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and many other boxes. I went there, and when I saw what they were doing, I told them that they forgot to bring one important thing...
