Hah, missing packets? I bet the client is just trying to download the latest cat video. No wonder the WLAN is slow!

D, really? CRC errors? That seems like a pretty indirect way to check for missing packets. I'd much rather have a straightforward statistic from the analyzer.

C makes sense too. If I see retransmissions, that's a clear sign that some packets didn't make it through. Probably the most reliable indicator.

B sounds like the easiest approach. I bet the protocol analyzer has a handy feature that just tells you the number of missing packets. No need to do all that manual work.

User 4: Let's look for gaps in the sequence number in the MAC header as well, just to be thorough.

I'm not sure, but I think C) Retransmissions are also an indication of missing packets. It makes sense to check for retransmissions.

Option A seems logical, a gap in the sequence numbers would definitely indicate missing packets. I wonder if there's a way to automate this analysis instead of manually checking each sequence number.

I agree with Milly. If there are missing packets, there should be gaps in the sequence numbers.
