Hello
How can I measure the packet loss rate with Wireshark? In my case I am
sending a file of 512MB and wireshark captures the packets on my
computer.
This isn't as straight forward as it sounds. The packet losses can
generate triple duplicate ACKs for example, and you have to manually
figure out what's going on. Or you may even have SACK enabled and that
makes it more difficult to analyze.
You can get a rough idea of what's going on by looking at the first
occurrence of retransmissions. To be honest, I have the luxury of using
Opnet's ACE and it can calculate stuff like this pretty easily. Of
course, Opnet isn't exactly cheap! ;)
