Abstract

In the realm of information technology, network troubleshooting is a crucial ability that allows experts to locate and fix problems that might impair network functionality. An essential tool in this process is the popular network protocol analyzer Wireshark, which records and examines network traffic. An overview of a network troubleshooting simulator that uses Wireshark to teach and train IT professionals, students, and amateurs in identifying and fixing network issues. A potent teaching tool that provides a realistic and interactive environment for learning and perfecting network troubleshooting techniques is the Network Troubleshooting Simulator Using Wireshark
