Need information on snoop utility
Hi,
I am facing a network delay for one of my system.
Client is sending http request to server which is getting executing on one system within 30 seconds where as other system is not able to complete the http request in 30 seconds.
So i tried to analyze the packets using snoop utility. But what i observed is that, on running snoop from my client system the delay is overcomed and my http request is processed within 30 seconds. I want to understand the reason behind this behaviour. To my knowledge snoop only detects the packets. So it should not overcome the delay .
Thanks for your cooperation. Any suggestions and inputs will be highly appreciable.
Regards,
Hemil

Howdy Hemil,
Thats interesting I assume that this is repeatable? I know that snoop puts the device in promiscuous mode by default but this should not change the behaviour?
You could try running snoop with the -P flag (non promiscuous mode) and see if you get the same behaviour, or install tcpdump and try that instead.
Regards

before to analyze the packet what happens to the
unresolved requests ? I guess you have made a diagram
before of implementing of the various states of the involved
applications. maybe the unresolved requests are still
pending and then generate traffic anyway ?
