  • 1.  Regarding network related failure troubleshooting

    Posted 20 days ago

    Hello All,

    I know some network related diagnostics can be done from Genesys profile section where we can run diagnostics to identity the Jitter, pack loss or any failure. Also from the  below urls also we can execute the same.
    https://apps.usw2.pure.cloud/webrtc-troubleshooter/
    But apart from the above would like to know is there any additional methods where to troubleshoot network related issues well.

    Hi @Satish Huzuru,

    Besides the built-in Diagnostics page and the WebRTC Troubleshooter, I usually recommend a few additional approaches when investigating network-related issues in Genesys Cloud:

    1. Browser Developer Tools

    • Check the browser console for WebRTC, ICE, STUN/TURN, or connectivity-related errors.
    • Review network traces (F12 → Network) for failed requests, latency spikes, or websocket disconnections.

    2. WebRTC Statistics

    • In Chrome, use chrome://webrtc-internals/ to collect detailed call metrics such as packet loss, jitter, round-trip time (RTT), audio levels, codec usage, and ICE candidate selection.
    • This is often one of the most valuable tools when troubleshooting intermittent audio issues.

    3. Endpoint Network Tests

    • Run continuous ping and traceroute/pathping tests to the relevant Genesys Cloud region during the reported issue window.
    • This helps identify latency variation, packet loss, or ISP routing problems that may not appear in a quick connectivity test.

    4. Firewall and Proxy Validation

    • Verify that all required Genesys Cloud domains, ports, and protocols are allowed according to the Resource Center documentation.
    • Many voice quality issues are ultimately related to SSL inspection, proxy interference, or blocked media ports.

    5. QoS and Local Network Analysis

    • Check whether voice traffic is prioritized correctly on the LAN/WAN.
    • Review bandwidth utilization, congestion events, Wi-Fi signal quality, and potential packet drops on network equipment.

    6. Packet Captures

    • When necessary, collect a Wireshark capture during a live issue to analyze RTP streams, retransmissions, packet loss, and latency.
    • This can help determine whether the issue originates from the endpoint, local network, ISP, or upstream path.

    7. Genesys Cloud Performance Views

    • Correlate user-reported issues with Voice Quality metrics and conversation details available within Genesys Cloud to identify whether degradation is isolated or widespread.

    In my experience, Chrome WebRTC Internals + packet captures + firewall/proxy validation provide the most actionable information when the standard Genesys diagnostics do not reveal the root cause.

    Regards

    Cesar,
    Excellent and I 100% agree with you.  For #6, capturing Wireshark logs, I wrote instructions how to set up a process to run Wireshark dumpcap in the background so it doesn't interrupt end user activities. Not sure if the embedded bat file will make it through the upload, so here are the contents:

    C:
    cd\
    start "" C:\"Program Files"\Wireshark\dumpcap -i 4 -w C:\Temp\Genesys.pcap -b filesize:50000 -b files:100

    You change the log file size and number kept in this file as noted in the bold italics

    hi Kevin, 

    Thanks for the contribution, I didn't have this information but now I have it in my useful data!
