![]() TCP DupACK - Occurs when the same ACK number is seen AND it is lower than the last byte of data sent by the sender. ACK packet sent in response to a "keep-alive" packet. TCP Keep-Alive - Occurs when the sequence number is equal to the last byte of data in the previous packet. This event is a good indicator of packet loss and will likely be accompanied by "TCP Retransmission" events. TCP Previous segment lost - Occurs when a packet arrives with a sequence number greater than the "next expected sequence number" on that connection, indicating that one or more packets prior to the flagged packet did not arrive. ![]() TCP_Out-of-order - Occurs when a packet is seen with a sequence number lower than the previously received packet on that connection. Senders should Fast Retransmit upon receipt of 3 duplicate ACKs. Senders receive some packets which sequence number are bigger than the acknowledged packets. TCP Fast Retransmission - Occurs when the sender retransmits a packet before the expiration of the acknowledgement timer. TCP Retransmission - Occurs when the sender retransmits a packet after the expiration of the acknowledgement. When this feature is enabled the sliding window monitoring inside Wireshark will detect and trigger display of interesting events for TCP such as : This feature should not impact too much on the run-time memory requirements of Wireshark but can be disabled if required. This allows much better and more accurate measurements of packet-loss and retransmissions than is available in any other protocol analyzer. This requires some extra state information and memory to be kept by the dissector but allows much better detection of interesting TCP events such as retransmissions. See the TCP Analysis section of the User's Guide for more up to date documentation.īy default Wireshark and TShark will keep track of all TCP sessions and implement its own crude version of Sliding_Windows. My finger would be pointing at the FWSM as it does all sorts of freaky things to TCP traffic (see the Wireshark Tip #47 about 4 NOPS at. Out-of-order packet issues are addressed in that article. There's an interesting write-up about troubleshooting FWSM performance at. Got any load balancing set up along the path(s)? Any packet expediting? Your observations seem to indicate that the condition occurs when crossing from one VLAN to another VLAN. Honestly, I'd rather see you have a full-duplex tap in front of each of the servers rather than rely on the span information.) (FYI - I always check to see if the packets are truly out-of-order as some Cisco boxes duplicate the packets when spanning is enabled - since you don't see the condition when you move Server 1 to VLAN Y, then we have to assume this is not the issue and they truly are out-of-order. Book has not arrived yet and so I'm sending this plea for help! Does anyone have any thoughts/suggestions/feedback? I have been troubleshooting this issue for over a week and have ordered the Wireshark Network Analysis book from Amazon to further my research of this issue. I have upgraded the FWSM on the Cisco 6509 to no avail.
