Title: Packet capture quick info on determining network, server, or client
Post by: dlots on November 19, 2015, 12:42:16 PM
I did a webanar today on packet caps and it was pretty good, the main things I found that are useful are:

If the time from syn to syn-ack is smaller = capturing at the server
Time from syn-ack to ack is smaller = capturing at the client

Time from syn to syn-ack = your network round trip timer
Time from ack to request = client delay
Time from request to response = server delay.
