The 45‑minute presentation, hosted by Wireshark expert Chris Greer and VIAVI Solutions’ Ward Cobleigh, is aimed at helping IT professionals cut through the noise of enormous packet capture (PCAP) files. In the first part, Greer walks attendees through a structured approach to packet capture and analysis. He explains his methodology for reviewing captures, demonstrates key initial steps, and shares his top five Wireshark filters for quickly isolating critical data. A real-world capture file is used to demonstrate these strategies, providing viewers with practical, hands-on techniques to expedite troubleshootingÂ
In the second part, Cobleigh introduces VIAVI’s Observer platform and demonstrates how its patented End‑User Experience Scoring and automated workflows can accelerate problem detection. Rather than manually sifting through thousands of packets, Observer provides a higher-level view, helping teams identify and validate performance degradations across complex environments. The combined insights offer attendees a balanced toolkit—classic packet analysis skills from Greer, enhanced by Observer’s scalable automation and visualization—for immediate application in their own troubleshooting processes
