Abstract
Network performance can be a prime concern for network administrators. The performance of the network depends on many factors. Some of the issues faced in the network performance are - Slow Internet, Bottlenecks, Loss of packets and/or retransmissions, and Excessive bandwidth consumption. For troubleshooting a network, an in-depth understanding of network protocols is required. The main objective of this research is to analyze the performance and various other parameters related to the integrity of a network in a home-based network environment using Wireshark. Network traffic is captured for different devices. The captured traffic is then analysed using Wireshark’s basic statistical tools and advanced tools for various performance parameters.
