Chapter 8. Statistics
8.1. Introduction
Ethereal provides a wide range of network statistics.
These statistics range from general information about the loaded capture file (like the number of
captured packets), to statistics about specific protocols (e.g. statistics about the number of HTTP re-
quests and responses captured).
•
General statistics:
•
Summary about the capture file.
•
Protocol Hierarchy of the captured packets.
•
Endpoints e.g. traffic to and from an IP addresses.
•
Conversations e.g. traffic between specific IP addresses.
•
IO Graphs visualizing the number of packets (or similar) in time.
•
Protocol specific statistics:
•
Service Response Time between request and response of some protocols.
•
Various other protocol specific statistics.
Note!
The protocol specific statistics requires detailed knowledge about the specific protocol.
Unless you are familiar with that protocol, statistics about it will be pretty hard to un-
derstand.
