[Ethereal-users] Re: finding crc errors

["Neil" <neil-on-ethereal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think, I should change my question. I was reading a document regarding 
troubleshooting a distributed application. Their recommendation was to setup 
side by side traces or simply, 2 sniffer on both ends, 1 on the client side 
and the other 1 on the server side. Assuming I have done this, what is my 
next step to figure out bottlenecks in WAN or application? 

Thanks, 

Neil
