Wireshark – network analyzing tool 19/03/2018 1

Wireshark – network analyzing tool What?  One of the best open source packet analyzers available today  Captures network packets and tries to display content as detailed as possible When/Why?  Easy and user friendly way to troubleshoot network problems  Multiple tools to extract the desired packets, i.e. network interfaces and display filters for protocol, IP, port, etc.  Create packet dissector for accelerator equipment  Quick tool to analyse the data 19/03/2018 2

What is a packet dissector? - example LHC FBs  perform a detailed analysis of a part of the packets content  Sequencial layers of dissection  Frame dissector  Ethernet dissector  IP dissector ...  Custom dissector 19/03/2018 3

Build and run your dissector - example LHC FBs  How to build (more in Wiki)  How to run  Create a plugin either in  Connect to FEC • an existing Wireshark build  Start capturing (bdisoft/development) • or your own FEC Wireshark Controller display data Application dissectors dumpcap transport (UDP) libpcap network (IP) link (Ethernet) Pick-up Correction physical system System Particle beam 19/03/2018 4
