Getting information through TCP stream graphs – time/sequence (Steven's) window
One of the tools in Wireshark that enables us to dig deeper into applications' behavior are TCP stream graphs. These graphs, as we will see in the next few recipes, enable us to get the details of the application's behavior, and in doing so, present us with the possibility of locating problems with it.
