Network Analysis using Wireshark Cookbook
By :

Jitter and delay are characteristics that can significantly influence various network applications. For monitoring jitter and delay on a communication line, you can use simple or graphical Ping tools that will show you the line characteristics. Wireshark on the other hand does not measure the end-to-end delay but the influence that it has on the network traffic, that is inter-frame delay and how it influences applications.
In this recipe, we will see how to use Wireshark tools for monitoring these parameters, and in the next recipe we will see how to discover problems caused by them.
For monitoring delay on a communication line, first use the ping
command to get the feeling of the line, and then configure port mirror to the port you want to monitor.
To monitor inter-frame delay:
Change the font size
Change margin width
Change background colour
