If one suspects that their ISP (a business line) is queueing packets can this be detected with Wireshark? Are there markers or tags to look for within a capture that would indicate a types of queueing? thx, J asked 22 Jul '15, 09:55  JTech_17 |
One Answer:
Traffic shaping or policing wouldn't normally be as detectable as a tag or marker. For a business line, one suggestion is to confirm the committed information rate (CIR) and do a performance test to prove you aren't receiving it. A tool such as iPerf comes to mind. Policers in particular can be detected sometimes with a rapid ping stream. If you see pings being dropped on relatively fixed time intervals, that can indicate a policer which is hitting its byte quota within its set time interval, then refreshing the quota at the beginning of the next interval. answered 22 Jul '15, 19:27  Quadratic |
