Getting information through TCP stream graphs – the Round Trip Time window
The Round Trip Time window of the TCP stream graphs enables us to look at the round trip between sequence numbers and the time they were acknowledged. Along with other graphs, it provides us with a look at the performance of the connection.
Getting ready
Open an existing capture or start a new capture. Click on a specific packet in the capture file. Even though you can use this feature on a running capture, it is not meant for online statistics, so it is recommended that you start a capture, stop it, and then use this tool.
How to do it...
To view the TCP stream graph statistics, perform the following steps:
