Packet Analysis Power Workshop (PAPW)

Network administrators, network managers and all technical staff who are responsible for planning, implementing, and ensuring high performance operation of their data networks.

Basic understanding of Network Fundamentals and TCP/IP operation.

Upon completing this course, the learner will be able to meet these overall objectives:

• Master the Wireshark user interface and configuration
• Selecting measuring point and measuring technique
• Collecting and evaluating network statistics
• Identifying probable causes
• Examine network protocol layers for abnormal behavior
• Determine the source of a problem: network, workstation, server or application
• Improving network performance where possible
• Correcting inefficient network configurations

Packet Analysis Power Workshop (PAPW) v1.3 is a 5 day Fast Lane course designed to give students a basic understanding of how to use the Wireshark Analyzer with all features and functions. The students enhance their knowledge on troubleshooting network protocols and pinpointing the source of bad performance using Wireshark. The PAPW training class reinforces the instruction by providing students with plenty of hands-on labs in which a wide range of network problems are closely examined.
