Estimate the data sent by server on Network

Dear Dancers, I aim to find the size of the a single event (Object) that is passed on to the network from a server to client. (Size of meta-data along with the actual data) Initial exploration result using Java instrumentation library is as below: Subscribed periodic event on float attribute: ——————————————— Result: I assume that the data passed to the network by the server is packed into the EventData Object at client's end. Hence, the above result (which outputs the EventData object size) may not provide an accurate estimate about the data that is passed by the server to the client on the network. Further, the data is received by Client from the Server will also include Network Overheads/Payload. How to identify the percentage of it on the actual data? May anyone please guide on how to get these data estimate? Kind regards, Jyotin "You'll probably get better with time at it. As with anything, you have to be consistent to see improvements." |

Hi Jyotin, If you want to see the amount of data going through the network, I would recommend using a tool like wireshark. If you want to better understand what is included in an EventData object, I would simply advise to have a look at the source code. I hope this helps a bit. Reynald

Hi Reynald, Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have heard about the Wireshark tool and will now configure it to get the estimates. Thanks for directing me to it. Kind regards, Jyotin |
