A Comprehensive Analysis of Network Latency Under Varying Traffic Conditions Using Wireshark

This video demonstrates network traffic analysis using iperf3 and Wireshark, with a primary focus on understanding latency under different traffic conditions.

The experiment involves generating controlled and high-volume network traffic using various iperf3 commands, including bandwidth-limited transfers and parallel stream stress testing. The generated traffic is captured using Wireshark on the loopback interface, as the communication occurs within the local system (127.0.0.1).

Multiple Wireshark tools and graphs are used to analyze network behavior, including:

TCP Round Trip Time (RTT) for latency measurement
Time-Sequence graphs for packet flow analysis
Throughput graphs for performance variation
I/O graphs for traffic visualization
TCP Window Scaling for congestion control behavior

The results show how latency is affected by traffic load, throughput fluctuations, and TCP mechanisms under different conditions.
