We send a text file from on computer (windows) to another (Linux) and we captured it in each computer. Is there a difference between each capture? My friend says there is a difference but I don't see it asked 06 Mar '17, 15:04 Martix |
One Answer:
When you ask about differences, do you mean in the capture format or in the data itself? As far as the data goes, there will be a few differences:
If you don't see any obvious difference, have a look at the timestamps and MAC addresses. Also, make sure you set your configuration to show the actual TCP sequence numbers and not relative ones. If the two machiens are on the same LAN segment, at minimum the timestamps will differ and the source/destination MAC and IP addresses will be swapped. answered 08 Mar '17, 06:50 ryber |
There might be depending on many factors such as offload settings, network delay, etc.
We don't either.
