Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] voip troubleshooting

Hi all,

I hope I can use wireshark for this task I have.

There's two way voice traffic going on and at one point the IP is sent across radios. The problem is that at some point, the sound comes through delayed, though it always comes through complete. It sounds as if theres buffereing taking place and the voice just stops, then continues. I'm thinking maybe it would be something like one radio is not transmitting strong enough which means some packet ACKnowledgements might not be making it back to the voip source on the TCP network, but I need to see what the packet conversation actually looks like to figure this out.

I was hoping wireshark might be a good tool here to help me troubleshoot what's going on.

Any help, suggestions, comments on what to look for would be greatly appreciated since I haven't yet done this.

Will
