contents The aim of this work is multifold. Firstly, it intends to present a complete, quantitative and self-contained description of the periodic traveling wave solutions and Whitham modulation equations for the Toda lattice, combining results from different previous works in the literature. Specifically, we connect the Whitham modulation equations and a detailed expression for the periodic traveling wave solutions of the Toda lattice. Along the way, some key details are filled in, such as the explicit expression of the characteristic speeds of the genus-one Toda-Whitham system. Secondly, we use these tools to obtain a detailed quantitative characterization of the dispersive shocks of the Toda system. Lastly, we validate the relevant analysis by performing a detailed comparison with direct numerical simulations.
