Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analysis tool that lets you capture and analyze network traffic in real time. In this article, we will learn about the Telephony Menu Function in Wireshark. and what are the components used inside the Telephony Menu Function also see the overview of Wireshark.
So in this article, we will understand MTP3 Windows, what is the role of network capturing in Wireshark, and also see the overview of Wireshark.
The Main Window
So this is the main window of the Wireshark while the wireless fidelity lives to capture. As you can see in the below image there is a tool menu function, main toolbar function, packet list pane, and packet details pane. present the captured network interface.
Telephony function
The Telephony menu function allows users to capture and analyze voice and video calls, instant messages, and other telephony-related traffic. this menu contains the items such as RTP, RTSP, SCTP, SMPP operation, etc. And the telephony function also contains the MTP3 Windows sub-items which play an important role while curing the network.
MTP3 Windows
As we seen above the MTP3 is the sub-items or functions of the telephony menu function. MTP3 (Message Transfer Part Level 3) is a protocol used in telecommunication networks for message transfer between different network elements. MTP3 Windows in Wireshark refer to the various fields and information present in the MTP3 layer of a captured packet in a Wireshark trace.
The MTP3 layer is responsible for routing messages between different signaling points in a network. It is divided into several fields, each of which contains different information about the message being transferred. These fields are represented as windows in a Wireshark trace.
MTP3 also contains some sub-function as MTP3 Statistics and MTP3 Summary.
MTP3 Statistics
MTP3 statistics refer to the various performance metrics and counters that are collected to measure the efficiency and reliability of MTP3 in a network.
MTP3 Summary
MTP3 Summary
MTP3 Summary contains some information about all kinds of protocol, service indicators contains. So in general the various MTP3 windows in a Wireshark trace, network engineers and analysts can gain insights into the behavior of the telecommunication network, identify issues and troubleshoot problems
