I think, I should change my question. I was reading a document regarding 
troubleshooting a distributed application. Their recommendation was to setup 
side by side traces or simply, 2 sniffer on both ends, 1 on the client side 
and the other 1 on the server side. Assuming I have done this, what is my 
next step to figure out bottlenecks in WAN or application? 
Thanks,

Ethernet uses a CRC,
TCP uses a checksum.

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a way for finding crc errors in TCP header just like how 
it was mentioned here, 
http://www.networkuptime.com/tips/crc_in_tcp/index.html
Unfortunately, it is not for Ethereal. So how do we search CRC problems 
in Ethereal? Can someone walk me through please?
Are you looking for Ethernet checksum information or TCP crc info?  
Unless you have a) a hub based network or b) Cabletron switches, you will 
not be able to capture Ethernet checksum issues.  All the switches that I 
worked with will not pass along damaged Ethernet frames.  Cabletron was 
the exception.
