i'm new to wireshark, i have a question for the wireshark pros: i believe that my provider slows down/shapes my download speed if i use certain services / ports. lets say if i use ftp i have full 18mb/s, if i try to download something from the usenet, it seesms that my max. speed is throttled to max 10mb/s. is there a difference how the packets look like when throttled/not throttled ? or is there any other way to collect evidence ? thx in advance! asked 12 Nov '13, 13:37  supreme |
One Answer:
"Traffic Shaping" is usually achieved by dropping packets to/from your IP address which then will trigger re-transmissions. So to answer your questions:
No
A higher than usual packet loss rate / re-transmissions. Of course, you need to have a basis to compare so maybe you can take another trace from a device that is not 'throttled' and see what's different. THE filter number 1 filter is probably just "expert"
