  Analysis of Round Trip Time (RTT) under Different Traffic Conditions using Wireshark Introduction Network performance depends on several parameters such as delay, bandwidth, throughput, and packet loss. Among these, delay plays a significant role in determining how efficiently data is transferred between communicating devices. One of the most important delay-related metrics is Round Trip Time (RTT). RTT directly influences the behaviour of transport-layer protocols, especially the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP relies on acknowledgments to ensure reliable data transmission. The sender cannot continuously transmit unlimited data; it must wait for acknowledgments before sending additional packets. Therefore, RTT has a direct impact on data transfer speed. RTT is measured as the time difference between when a packet is sent and when its acknowledgment is received. Objectives To analyze Round Trip Time (RTT) in TCP communication To study network performance under different ...
