Sammanfattning

Packet capture and analysis is necessary for many activities including network monitoring and debugging as well as for collecting statistics about a specific web application. WinPcap is an architecture for Win32 operating systems based on libpcap that provides a set of system calls that allow user applications to interact directly with the data flowing through the network and collect network packets. This paper shows the possibilities to conduct packet capture with common packet capture tools that uses WinPcap and the uses of analyzing captured data with common analyzing tools using WinPcap to measure performance of a web application in terms of response times. The method for measuring web application performance based on collected network packets is proven and paves the way for conducting web performance tests with said data as a template.
