One potentially useful piece of software that is a work in progress is called Pcapdiff. (http://www.eff.org/testyourisp/pcapdiff/) Written by Seth Schoen and Steven Lucy it's a pretty useful piece of software. While still in a relative infant stage I think it could mature into a very useful tool to troubleshoot network connectivity. Pcapdiff was originally written to find out if your ISP was toying with you P2P packets (comcast) and injecting resets. I have worked with the authors a bit and found it highly useful to take two packet captures on my network and use it to verify A) All packets sent are recieved B) They are in their original state. Again the features of pcapdiff are pretty limited but I love the idea of the program and I really think it could grow into an excellent tool to analyze packet captures with just a few additional features (a few listed below) -Tim Eberhard On Tue, Jul 15, 2008 at 5:05 AM, Sam Stickland < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Are there any packages (or Wireshark options that I've missed) that can > follow a TCP stream and determine the limiting factor on throughput.
