Offloading And Troubleshooting
I’ve been talking about ‘Offloading’ since the introduction of Windows 7 and never surprised when the topic pops back up.
I thought this would be a good opportunity to review the impact offloading has on troubleshooting as well as share some of the behind the scenes set up information.
I start with how I configured my Network Critical SMARTNA-XL TAP/Packet Broker https://www.networkcritical.com/smartna-xl which is very important since we don’t want “garbage in”.
After the capture we have 2 traces, one from the client’s laptop and one from the SmartNA-XL monitor port that I will review. I cover why the client has huge packet sizes and the difference from the tap’s capture.
So in a nutshell this video has Packet Broker configuration, packet capture and some packet analysis, all under 10 minutes.
