Network Performance Analysis using RTT under Different Traffic Conditions
Network Performance Analysis using RTT under Different Traffic Conditions INTRODUCTION Round Trip Time (RTT) is a fundamental network parameter that measures the time taken for a packet to travel from the sender to the receiver and back. It plays a crucial role in evaluating network performance, delay, and congestion. In modern networks, increasing traffic load can significantly impact latency and stability. This experiment focuses on analyzing RTT under different traffic conditions—low, medium, and high—using Wireshark. The study also explores related metrics such as jitter, retransmissions, and TCP window size to understand network behavior under varying load conditions. OBJECTIVE To measure Round Trip Time (RTT) using Wireshark. To analyze network performance under low, medium, and high traffic conditions. To study the impact of congestion on delay and network stability. To observe variation in delay (jitter) with increasing traffic. To correlate RTT with load, retransmissi...
