network traffic analysis and troubleshooting using raspberry pi
by Muhammad Nur Haziq bin Mohd Safri
ABSTRACT
In the past five decades computer network has kept up growing, the complexity of it and the number of users that use it also is being increased from time to times. Because of that, the amount of network traffic that flowing over their nodes has increased drastically. Therefore, the management, maintenance, and monitoring of the network is really important to keep the network smooth. Network traffic analysis is the process of recording, reviewing, and analyzing the packet in the network traffic for the performance purpose. Network traffic sometimes can be too busy with the packet where can see at the university; the network traffic is very busy because there are a lot of students in the university use the Internet. With all this condition, network performance can be so bad without knowing the real problem.
In this paper, I would like to track the performance of the network traffic problem by using raspberry pi. Raspberry Pi is a low cost, small and portable size of computer board that can be used to plug-in to monitor, keyboard, mouse, pen-drive and etc. There are of advantages of this Raspberry Pi. This includes a small independent computer that run independently, has very large working memory, possible to connect the Raspberry Pi with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapters. Raspberry Pi also is cheaper than other wireless sensor nodes. From this project, I will install the My Traceroute(MTR) in the Raspberry Pi to capture the IP of the Access Point. Using this MTR also we can know if there have any packet loss in the network. Then, the results will be save in the form of text file. And lastly, it will send to the network admin by using email. Later, admin will take action about it.

introduction
Today, Internet is one of the most effective and efficient ways to communicate with each other. Whether it is through Facebook, Google, Twitter, or another website, the internet gives us the opportunity to connect with all kinds of different people and read news and information from all over the world.
Wi-Fi is a facility that allows smartphones, computers and other devices to access internet wirelessly. “The faster, the better” which refer to the speed of the internet that people can access. In the past five decades’ computer network has kept up growing, the complexity of it and the number of users that use it also is being increased from time to times. Because of that, the amount of network traffic that flowing over their nodes has increased drastically. Therefore, the management, maintenance, and monitoring of the network in real importance to keep the network smooth. Network traffic analysis is the process of recording, reviewing, and analyzing the packet in the network traffic for the performance purpose. Network traffic sometimes can be too busy with the packet where can see at the university; the network traffic is very busy because there are a lot of students in the university use the Internet. With all this condition, network performance can be so bad without knowing the real problem. So this project will use Raspberry pi with Wi-Fi build in to analyze which AP have network problem. |
Raspberry Pi is a low cost, small and portable size of computer board that can be used to plug-in to monitor, keyboard, mouse, pen-drive and etc. There are two programming languages that have been used which are the Scratch and Python which enable user to design animation or program and develop script respectively. They have described the advantages of Raspberry Pi. This includes a small independent computer that run independently, has very large working memory, possible to connect the Raspberry Pi with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth adapters and Raspberry Pi is cheaper than other wireless sensor nodes.

Conclusion
This project is useful for network administrator because they can monitor the condition of access points everywhere. Besides, by using Raspberry Pi we can save our money because the price is cheap and can bring them anywhere.
