Hey

I want to measure the traffic caused during the session of a player, but I can't find a way to do this.
Any help is highly appreciated!

Best regards

Maybe with Wireshark?

I like Wireshark a lot and also use Charles.

Thanks, nice tools.
I got both to work, but I prefer Charles.
That really helped a lot optimizing my msg protocol

That really helped a lot optimizing my msg protocol :)

Might I ask in what way? Maybe some things that others could apply too?

Ill try to explain, but it was pretty specific to my game: I was fighting with me whether I should right at the player-login should send one huge msg containing all npcs and updating them every here and then or if I only send them in if they are close to the player. I was already tending more to the 2nd, but I wasnt 100% sure, after measuring traffic I figured that 2nd way of implementation was ways better

I just needed some good proof to figure out what really is better
