Then wireshark will be used to perform basic protocol analysis on tcpip network traffic. For ping and traceroute, this measures the round trip time between sending the ping packet and getting the icmp packet back. Wireshark lab tcp solution my computer science homework. Initial rtt is the round trip time that is determined by looking at the tcp three way handshake. The tool is designed for administrators who specifically want to tune tcpip stacks and then test the effectiveness of those stacks.

Calculating average round trip time of a tcp stream in this blog post i will demonstrate how to obtain an average of the roundtrip time rtt of a specific tcp stream, which is the time it takes for one host to acknowledge a frame sent by another host.
Wireshark is a networkpacket analyzer that supports many network protocols, including realtime publishsubscribe rtps, the wire protocol used by rti connext formerly rti data distribution service middleware. I can obtain rtt values using tcptrace but it takes only discrete values as it is shown in the graph below. Iperf tutorial jon dugan summer jointtechs 2010, columbus, oh. An interesting thing to notice in the wireshark capture is the rst packet sent after accepting the syn ack from the web server. This gives a pretty accurate estimate of the time needed for the initial packet sent by nmap to go to a target device, plus the time that the response packet took to return to nmap.
