End applications using multicast traffic are mostly audio or video applications, and the traffic rate at which the multicast stream is received is one of the criteria to be considered for troubleshooting. Wireshark allows us to list all the UDP multicast streams with a simple analysis in terms of PPS, average BW used, and more. This statistic will be very useful while troubleshooting multicast traffic. The statistics can be viewed by following these steps:
- Go to Statistics and click UDP Multicast Streams
- Check the available fields for multicast information
