ACE Dup ACK and TCP Out-of-order

Hi,
I have a pair of FT ACE 4710 offloading https traffic to a couple of webservers. We are seeing very high network utilisation when I capture the client facing port of the active ACE. There appears to alot of duplicate ACKs and TCP out-of-order packets (as shown by wireshark). Does anyone know if this is a problem with the ACE or "normal"
Thanks

I've seen some similar behaviour with the ACE Module and Apache webservers. To mitigate this I've configured the following which seems to work.
On the ACE Module
parameter-map type http ALL-HEADERS
  persistence-rebalance
parameter-map type connection TCP-OPTIONS
  set tcp syn-retry 5
  tcp-options timestamp allow
policy-map multi-match test-policy
  class http-vip
    loadbalance vip inservice
    loadbalance policy http-test-pm
    loadbalance vip icmp-reply active
    appl-parameter http advanced-options ALL-HEADERS
    connection advanced-options TCP-OPTIONS
On Apache here are the two test results with keepalive on and off
httpd.conf
KeepAlive Off
MaxKeepAliveRequests 1024
KeepAliveTimeout 30

This seems to of reduced the large number or re-transmits and dup-acks.

  • ACE duplicate ack and tcp out-of-order errors

    Hi,
    I have just performed a capture using a NAM in my 6500 on the port attached to my ACE appliance.
    What i have noticed in the capture is a lot of duplicate ack errors and tcp out-of-sync errors.
    The reason we found this was becuase the link utilisation per session seems higher than we expected, hence are the errors adding to this and is there any way to remedy them?
    Thanks
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    I'm not sure why you would see duplicate packets, although when you use SPAN, I know you can see them when you configure it to capture both directions on a VLAN.  This is because you see each packet as it enters and leaves the VLAN.  I don't know if that would apply to a NAM.
    One thing you could do is use the ACE 4710's built-in capture utility to see if you see the same symptoms from an alternative source.  This is covered in the Capturing Packet Information section of the configuration guides.
    Hope this helps,
    Sean

  • TCP out-of-order at IPS

    Dear All,
    We have a setup the IPS 4510 working inline mode with strict inspection turn on. we have detected some latency issue accessing the internal website. So we did some capture at the IPS interface. We found that there's a lot of out-of-order packet and DUP ACK detected by IPS which causing the normalizer engine buffer full and could not handle anymore request. As a work around we put the IPS in asymmetric mode where it turn off the IPS normalizer engine. 
    I need some opinion on possibilities why the Out of order and DUP ACK happen. 
    We are seeing quite a lot of Out-of-order, DUP ACK and TCP zero window in TCP stream that we captured. 
    The topology is quite straight forward:
    Internet ----WAN ROUTER ----- IPS4510 ----- ASA ----- Web server
    There's no redundancy or load balance for the ASA or WANROUTER. 
    Im hoping for some opinion and idea on how to tackle this issue.
    Thank you very much

    Hi
    bumping out an old thread since the issue still on going.
    I already discussed with TAC regarding the issue and 2 option that she gave
    + asymmetric mode (Which we rejected as permanent solution)
    + Event action filter
    I'm currently looking at this solution and plan to implement it in the IPS.
    I need to consider a few things and also suggestion
    + The signature engine involve is Normalizer engine (specifically sig 1330)
    + is it possible to customize this signature or should we just go for Event action filter?
    need opinion and pro and cons of this.
    Thanks a bunch

    For sales order related use specila stock as E and use radio button indicator in stock type
    For stock w/o sales order, use special stock indiactor as "space' and stock type valuated stock.
    to get a perticular month,opening stock/closing stock enter the start date/end date as month start and end date.
    See the o/p which will give the stock as required by you

  • Keyboard and mouse out of order for some minutes.

    Hi folks,
    On System-Start of a brand new Mac Pro, neither Bluetooth-Mouse nor USB-Keyboard (both Apple) are working correctly. While Keyboard is completely out of order, Mouse moves but click is impossible. But after 10 minutes or so they both do start to work! Does anybody have an idea to resolve the problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    Contact Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. Might also apply for newly bought desktop machines.

  • TCP out of order packets

    Hi,
    We are getting TCP out of error packets while sending requests to outside. Though we can access the internet and also connectivity is fine. But some of the application is not working due to this error, specially TCP based application as on the remote side they are not accepting two requests from our network. That means two requests are going from our network with each of the request sent to outside network.
    We have 4-5 vlans and intervlan routing is configured. Could somebody pls. let me know the reason of this and how can I solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Pawan

    Good mornning.
    We have many application similar to the case you have explained.
    Our links use satelite connection and the delayare between: 600 msec to 1000 msec.
    Delays over 1000 msec generates delay and connectivitiy problems with tcp applications.
    What is the delay between your endpoints ?
    Do you have access to internet router ? so can you tell us if there are packets drops in the interfaces ?
    Waiting your answer.

  • No arkwork and songs out of order

    ok i think im not the only but i want this say to me in lameman terms lol, ok so i have everything checked with the artwork on my ipod and it wont let me load any artwork on my ipod, it shows up in my librey and my music part of itunes but when i disconnect my ipod and play it no artwork shows up.
    now sense i updated everything on my ipod alot of my songs are out of order, there fine on itunes and in the librey but not on my ipod can someone help me out?
    or are we going to have to wait till itunes 8?

    There is a quicker way to restore your mixed up
    artwork....
    Connect ipod to computer,when ipod screen displays
    click on
    music tab (top center),untick 'Display album artwork
    on your ipod' at the bottem of the list and press
    'Apply' let it complete,then disconnect ipod.
    Now repeat the above,only this time tick the box that
    says
    'Display album artwork on your ipod' and 'Apply'.This
    works for my 30gig 5G with itunes 7 every time.
    That only works if all your Ipod music is still in your Itunes library. When you deselect to view your album artwork on your Ipod and click APPLY, then all your album art gets deleted from your Ipod. When you re-apply to allow album art to be displayed on your Ipod it will only grab what is currently in your Itunes library.
    Assuming you don't get that Error 50 message.
    I had to reimport all the music and videos from my Ipod into Itunes then sync my Ipod to my Itunes library. Now I have all the album artwork without issue. But I have a 60GB hard drive and a 60GB Ipod. So doing that in the future won't work unless I buy an extra hard drive.

  • Expected PO Receipts and scheduled out sales orders

    Hi Guys:
    in MRP Net requirements Calculation,
    for Example  If want Consider Schedule out Sales orders( requested Delivery Date 02/02/2012) which is determined by planning horizon( 6 months 06/30/2012) , Since this sales order is within Planning Horizon it will consider for MRP Planning.
    Is it the Same case with PO i.e Based upon the planning horizon PO will be included/excluded in planning?
    Also if for example my PO is due from the Vendor one PO is due in 03/02/2012 and other PO is 09/15/2012?
    Thanks
    Kodali

    Hi Venkat:
    Expected PO receipts that fall within the planning horizon will be excluded or Included in the calculation?
    I think it should be included otherwise you might be placing additional PO's to the vendor?
    Thanks

  • Just upgraded and photos out of order

    WOW, I just upgraded to 11 and all photos are out of order
    in previous versions if I wanted to look at my library (Photos) they would be in order of when they were put into iPhoto, from the 1st to most recent.
    with the upgrade they are all random. Is there any way to get them back in order? as in, the order they were installed into iPhoto?
    thanks

    Earlier this month I tried to ask the same question but not as well. In any case I don't understand your suggestion. When I go to View-> Sort Photos the only options are sort by date, keyword, title or rating and in either ascending or descending order (manual and reset manual sort are grayed out). How does this make the latest added image appear as the last added to the Photo Library. If there is eXIF data, the photo gets imported and placed by photo-taken date in the Photo Library. How do I make iPhoto disregard the eXIF information? I understand I can go to Last Import and then manually change the date the photo was taken, but this is very cumbersome when importing a quantity of photos.

  • How to make a CD Jacket and print out Song order directly from playlist

    I was wondering if there was a way to make a CD Jacket with artwork from songs selected and also how to make a same size sheet to fit in the CD holder that has the exact song order and titles by printing out directly from your playlist.
    I am not sure I worded that right but hopefully you will know what I mean.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    There is a pretty basic CD insert that you can print from iTunes, if I remember correctly it will print whatever artwork is attached to the first song in the playlist.
    Open iTunes, highlight the playlist in question, go to File>Print and choose the CD Jewel Caser Insert radio button. Theres also a little Theme menu.
    However you can get much more flexibility from a dedicated CD Cover program. I use Cover Star, it's inexpensive and makes good quality CD booklets, back covers and disc overlays. It will generated artwork for you or you can drag your own picture files to it. You can download a trial version from this link: http://autostylus.com/coverstar.html. It's fully functional apart from printing so you can play around with it and save the inserts until you decide if it's for you. Purchasing a license then releases the final function and anything you saved previously can be printed off.

  • Help with TCP out-of-order packets Wireshark capture

    Hello everyone,  we have a bit of an odd issue. Can you take a look at the attached capture file and tell me what's broken? Please change the file extension from .txt to .pcapng and open with Wireshark. 
    We have a major issue where clients cannot retrieve data from the server at 10.10.7.27.
    Server is behind the firewall at 172.18.123.4 which is configured to NAT the traffic coming through.
    Please advise.

    It's actually from anywhere.  The DNS resolves the website address to a global address.  So regardless of the source (inside or out), you hit the firewall and get routed to 10.10.7.0 network.  The firewall's LAN interface shares the same VLAN as the DMVPN head-end router's LAN interface.  From the DMVPN head-end router, it goes over the DMVPN cloud (i.e. back over the internet) to our office in Florida where this site is being hosted. 
    The capture I grabbed was by SPAN port between the two LAN interfaces showing transactions between the firewall's LAN interface and the server's IP address on the 10.10.7.0 subnet.
    Site uses HTTPS and we have other servers in the same subnet (10.10.7.0) that are accessible in the same manner.  I did SPAN the ports for another webserver and did see a lot of TCP OOO and re-transmissions however not as bad as this one. 
    I do have a theory, please feel free to correct me.  Request comes in on the WAN interface, gets NATed by the firewall and sent to the DMVPN router, router encrypts the packet and places it on the wire, once the remote DMVPN peer receives the packet, it decrypts it and then sends it out it's DMZ interface connected to another application firewall. This firewall checks the packet and then sends it to the web server hosting the content.  The process is reversed for reply traffic. On top of all this, the content is served over HTTPS therefore more encryption/decryption. This seems like too much handling of the packet to me?  When the source computer sends a request, it simply times out or spends too much time within our own network causing the source to resend the request?

  • Projects and Albums out of order

    It used to be Projects and Albums would line up in alphabetical order when created in Aperture Libraries. It hasbn't been happening for me in recent updates, and I can't find a way to set this in preferences. Even worse, some times albums won't let me change their order — they snap into different order than I drag them in. Don't know what's happening.

    When you drag any project or album, Aperture switches to Manual arrangement of all.
    Click on the gear icon at the top right of the Library list Sidebar, choose Keep Projects and Albums arranged by, and choose alphabetic if that is what you want.  You can't modify by dragging, though.

  • Angry to see my third Blackberry (curve, curve and Torch) out of order - Paris (France)

    Bonjour, 
    Je viens témoigner de ma mauvaise expérience des mobiles Blackberry. Ça a commencé par un Blackberry Curve qui ne s'est plus allumé, sans explication, en moins de 2 ans. Je me suis alors dit que je devais peut être monter en gamme pour espérer une durée de vie plus longue. Grosse erreur, puisque mon second choix, porté sur un Blackberry Torch 9860, vient de tomber en panne sans explication au bout d'un an et 10 mois. Comme à chaque fois, la petite led rouge clignote et s'éteint au bout de 2 secondes, et l'écran reste noir. Agacé, je suis allé chez mon distributeur Bouygues Telecom qui m'a informé que dépassé 1 an, il n'intervenait pas et m'a orienté vers Blackberry. Je viens d'appeler Blackberry qui m'a renvoyé vers ma boutique. Une fois de plus, je suis le client que l'on plume. 
    L'obsolescence des mobiles Blackberry est-elle également programmée? oui je le pense, car au delà de la panne de mes deux appareils, c'est la qualité du produit qui m'amène à le penser. Je tiens à dispo des photos de mon Torch montrant des défauts de fabrication qui sont apparues en moins de 2 ans. La mauvaise qualité de la gomme qui entoure la coque et qui sert à monter le volume ou le baisser, ou de l'autre côté de l'appareil, qui entoure la prise USB, s'est totalement résorbée avec le temps. Si bien, que je ne pouvait plus changer de volume ou que le chargement de la batterie devenait compliqué. 
    Vous êtes prévenus, si vous envisagez d'acheter un Blackberry. Pour ma part, c'est terminé. Je ne me ferai plus avoir !!!!

  • Accidentally clicked on Name in playlist and now out if order

    I made a playlist on my I pod nanno 8gb I accidentally clicked on name above all the names to the songs and the playlist went to alphabetical order of names. How do you get it back to original order?

    Click at the top of the column on the left with the numbers in it. When you click on any column there's little triangle on the right side of the column header. When it is pointing up the column is sorted in Ascending order (lowest to highest) when it's pointing down it's in Descending order (highest to lowest).
