Final Thoughts
This chapter has focused on troubleshooting slow networks. We’ve covered some of the more useful reliability detection and recovery features of TCP, demonstrated how to locate the source of high latency in network communications, and discussed the importance of a network baseline and some of its components. Using the techniques discussed here, along with some of Wireshark’s graphing and analysis features (as discussed in Chapter 5), you should be well equipped to troubleshoot when you get that call complaining that the network is slow.
