Packet loss during TCP handshake

view full story
linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have to implement a pseudo TCP handshake that leads into a file transfer. I have no problem doing the file transfer: simple send-acknowledge. What I can't wrap my head around is how to do the three way handshake assuming there will be packet loss during one of the 3 steps. For instance: My client sends a SYN packet. If it times out (packet loss or just slow) waiting for SYN-ACK, it resends it. Server sends SYN-ACK. If it times out waiting for ACK, resend SYN-ACK. Now how does the client now that his ACK was received? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Packet loss during TCP handshake

I am currently in the process of modifying how internet reaches my front end servers and I am having a strange issue with one of the existing stacks.

There is one physical firewall which is above the server, if I use this, I start recieving packet loss across the entire subnet, if I use wireshark I can see arp requests but I still get packet loss.

I want to monitor packet loss on my ASA 5505 VPN endpoints using SNMP. This is so I can graph the rates in Cacti and/or get alerts in Nagios.

However, I am not sure what SNMP values I should use to measure packet loss.

In the ASA I can run sh interface Internet stats to show traffic statistics for the interface connected to the Internet.

UDP packet loss when we enable the cache.Here i am using MCF5485 cold fire processor in that Access Control Registers(bits 5-6,CM) i.e,00 Cache able,write-through.01 Cache able,copy back.10 Cache-inhibited, precise.11 Cache inhibited,imprecise. when we set 00 or 01 mode(i.e Enable mode) in signal.h file we are getting packet loss. packet length is 1300 and No of packets are 30,000.

I'm using send on Linux std socket to write a packet over network. Send call, buffers data and "always" return values greater than 0. Send Pass the problem to the operating system and the lower level. How can i stop the send call and wait for the delivery of the packet to the other endsystem?

Hi

Very high packet loss in burst 38 weeks 6 days ago

We sometimes have 90%+ more packet loss on our server, but it does not always appends. Right now it works perfectly, but just half an hour ago, it had just that problem.

Our service provider is telling us to go in a recovery system to test if this is really a hardware problem and not software on our side.

For past days experienced in periods a very slow server and several crashes where the server becomes almost 100% unreachable - (Packet loss 70-90% from all location) and it is now network related as i have confirmed from the DC. A reboot fixes the problem usually temporary but the problem usually arises again within a few hours.

So, may i know how to investigate it.

[kubuntu] Wireless bouncing 1 year 16 weeks ago

I am getting 30% packet loss, 0% packet loss and 100% packet at times to the AP. And a lot of times dropping the connection all together. It seems to have started right after latest kernel update on Kubuntu 11.10.

Dear All,

I want to measure the packet loss happens in each second within wireless device driver.

Do you know how to measure the packet loss in this scope (which parameter is used) and where can I see the code? In my case I use mac80211 driver

Thank you so much for the answers
