Thanks<br />

I don't know this tool but would I be correct to say the next step would be to filter for dropped UDP packets or do you know a better way to put this considering the tools options? As you figured out I won't be doing it myself. I just need the buz words.

Now that I think about it, I don't know how you would see dropped packets if they are dropped...I'm not sure what you are trying to do is possible.

We are having an issue with beieving that UDP packets are being dropped through our VPN despite articles from this link. <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244474" rel="ugc">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/244474</a><br />
<br />
I personally don't think this is an issue with UDP packets through all VPN's so making the switch without current issues or justification is a stupid waste of time in my oppinion.<br />
<br />
I need to convince a network admin to somehow analyze traffic through the VPN for dropped UDP packets in order to justify this.<br />
<br />
Can someone give describe in their own words or provide a link that describes how to do this?<br />
<br />
That would be very helpfull. Thanks a bunch.<br />

CISCO Sniffing for dropped packets?

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
