Challenge: Show TCP and UDP packets in a traffic analyzer

“

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] In this challenge you'll download and install Wireshark. You'll use the program to capture and analyze the traffic that moves through your local network. From the captures you collect you'll show that UDP packets contain more information than TCP packets. You'll name at least two things that are included in a TCP packet that are not included in a UDP packet. With that done, try to find TCP packet control entries and find at least one PDU that is referred to as a TCP segment. Find at least one PDU that has to be retransmitted, and find at least one entry that represents an application layer packet. This challenge should take between 30 minutes and an hour.
