Whatever you need to know about Wireshark this is the place to start (and the most likely place you'll find the answer too). This book is filled with instructions on how to analyze different kinds of network traffic and practice files after each chapter to make sure you've learned it. If you need to learn how to use Wireshark or are a beginner in analyzing network traffic I recommend to check out this book and this book probably has some tids and pieces even for people experienced in both areas.
