Chase the latency
06-17, 13:30–14:30 (US/Eastern), Room A

End users and application teams complain to you about the latency, but we want to prove it is not network, how about that? The latency lies everywhere, not only in the network round trip time.


In this session, you can learn how to divide latency properly between the client OS/apps, the server OS/apps, and the network side, including reasonable ways to debug latency problems. We can find the root cause of the latency with TCP/UDP analysis TIPS and tricks using Wireshark.
