Packet loss with libpcap on a loopback interface
Hi! I'm trying to write a protocol decoder using libpcap. I'm having problems with a simple test program that sends a simple "hello world"- string on a TCP port. I intermittently receive some "TCP ACKed lost segment" for the packets that are sent/received. My best guess is that this is related to either libpcap or my setup since I get the same behaviour using my own protocol decoder as with Wireshark. The fact that the segments are not lost, other than for libpcap, are obvious since the test application receives the data without any retransmissions going ...

New packet loss issue
I've submitted this as a Sun case, but I thought I'd post here as well to see if anyone else has experienced this problem. Any ideas? ------------ The server is an x4100 M2 running Solaris 10 11/06 x86. Patches were current as of 4/9/2007, including a reconfig reboot at that time. Yesterday, the server was rebooted and afterwards the packet loss was noticed immediately. Note that as part of troubleshooting this problem, I've brought the patches up to date as of yesterday, performed a reconfig reboot, as well as performing a cold boot (with power cables completely removed). ...

Reapeatable packet loss on ulip interface over Solaris TCP on 100Mbps
Hi I use VxSim with ulip over Solaris8. Whenever the gap between 2 packets < 10usec - The second received packet does not arrive to ulip interface. This cause a very slow TCP connection. On 10BaseT it never happens (probably because the inter packet gap > 10 usec). Did anyone encountered this problem? Thanks, Ilan ...

Packet loss on larger packets only
Being stumped on a problem with a Win2K (SP4) box. Recently started to have network performance problems, no recent configuration changes that I can identify that might be responsible. I've narrowed the problem down to an issue where small packets are OK, but I get lots of packet loss on packets larger than 200-250 bytes, particularly over 300 bytes. This was tested by using "ping -t -l <size> <destination>" for hosts either on the same LAN or over an internet link. Problem manifests itself whether pinging from or to the affected host. This box also h...

packet loss because of big packets
Hello, The following problem occurs in my network: The command 'ping anyhost' works well without packet loss. Ping sends packets with a size of about 65 Bytes. If I grow the packet size with the parameter -s, I have got packet loss. The command 'ping -s 65507 host' works well for some hosts, for others not (100 % loss). Does this indicate bad network components? What does this mean for other protocols like UDP or TCP? Thank You for Your help! Andreas This might be due to certain hosts not supporting ICMP Echo reply with larger packet sizes. Sandeep -- htt...

LoopBack Interface
Can anybody help me in the following subject? Situation 1. Router 1 (2500 series) have 2 Serial Interface connected to 2 Branches. Loopback Interface is also configured for the Router & is running OSPF as the Routing Protocol.

Loopback Interface
I'm running a slave kerberos KDC on my OS X laptop. I need to access the KDC when the laptop is disconnected from any network, but the KDC doesn't bind to the loopback interface, and I can't seem to setup a dummy interface in OS X. OS X shuts down any interface on which it can't detect a link. How can I force the KDC to bind to the loopback interface?

Packet loss?
Hi, As an exercise I am trying to implement a very simple packet-loss measurement tool (copying the approach in Sting: a TCP-based Network Measurement Tool by Stefan Savage). I am sending a padded HTTP GET request as a sequence of TCP packets with 1 byte of payload to various web servers and watching the acks coming back. I pause for 1 second between sending each TCP packet. I have two questions: 1. I am not seeing any packet loss. Am I getting lucky or is the size of the packet (1 byte payload) somehow not big enough to encourage packet loss? 2. Some web servers are happy ...

Packet loss
Hello, Please, could anyone of you tell me why packet loss happens in a computer network? Need to know when and why a packet is rejected and disappears, and what takes that decision.

problem with ethernet loopback test using loopback plug/stub: receiving socket not seeing packet.
we are writing socket application to send UDP packets out from eth1 and loop it back to the same interface using loopback stub to verify the hardware without using external devices/ports. The sending and receiving port are the same. our target machine has eth0 configured as 15.6.xx.xx and eth1 configured as 16.6.6.6. the listening socket is listing on all ip. .. When we looked at the packet in the tx code of the driver, we have observed that the packet passed down from the ip stack has the same MAC address for both source and destination. Also when packet is returning, its ip source and...

loopback interface / VPN
I set up my router 877 to use EzVPN/xauth to connect to the office router. Whenever it succeeds in making a VPN connection ( for testing, I do it many times ) the config shows another line of interface loopbackN. Right now it shows : interface Loopback0 ip address 192.168.235.114 255.255.255.255 ! interface Loopback1 ip address 192.168.235.118 255.255.255.255 ! interface Loopback2 ip address 192.168.235.119 255.255.255.255 ! interface Loopback3 ip address 192.168.235.131 255.255.255.255 !

Network packet loss
I'm having trouble with a K570 I've got in my garage. I want to access the K box from a PC inside the house. So I came up with the idea to link the systems via the wireless network I have in the house, a 2Wire router/modem -1000HG, via SBC. I got a Motorola bridge, WE800G and setup the wireless connection successfully. I�m able to ping the bridge from a PC in the house, no problem. Here�s the problem, while I can ping the bridge with 0 packet loss, if I try to ping the 9000 (which is Cat 5 Ethernet connected to the bridge) I get a typically 75% failure (only 4 tries from ...

50% packet loss ?
Hi. What does it meen when my ping reply is !.!.!.!.!.!.!. for one IP-address. In LAN the ping reply is !!!!!!!! but from another network only every other packet is comming back. Kenneth, Check for static route to non-existing or dead gateway. For example, if you have two static routes with the same metrics to the same destination, router will try to do a load-balancing between gateways, and if one is down, you will get every other packet lost.

TCP_NODELAY at loopback interface
Hello, the WINCE 5.0 Winsock socket option TCP_NODELAY should control, if the Nagle algorithm is activated or not. The nagle alrorithm should delay transmission of short segments and send one segments, that contains all the short chunks. see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa450065.aspx 1) Does the Nagel algorithm also works for the Loopback interface 127.0.0.1? How is the term "data already in flight" to be read? 2) The function getsockopt returns the current value of the winsock option. What does it mean, when I get the result 8 (eight), when I have set the v...

System Packet Interface?

Multiplexing and packet loss
Hi I have a 1gbit (1000BaseZX) link between two sites that's, due to large number of small packets, have alot of buffer related packet loss in one direction. A solution I'm planning to implement is CWDM on this link and team at least four interfaces into an etherchannel. I'm however unsure if this will actually solve any of the packer loss problems. In theory four interface buffers should be better than one but I wounder if anyone have any real world data on this. Will a CWDM etherchannel only move the buffer problems from the interface to the etherchannel buffer? Regards Fredrik...

6506 loopback interface
We have a single 6506 which we will replace with two 6506 in HSRP redundancy mode. Until now we don't have a loopback interface configured on the 6506. Most management articles advise the use of the loopback interface so we want to configure it on both the 6506's. What we can't find, is what kind of address to put on both machines. Loopback addresses seem to be host adresses but how are they related to each other ? If we give router A address x.x.y.1, can we give router B address x.x.y.2 or do we need to give it x.x.Z.1 so i need a separate subnet for each interface ? If one...

WAN packet loss
What's 'reasonable' packet loss on a WAN for a global enterprise? By reasonable I mean normal loss that doesn't impact apps (I realize VoIP has it's own set). Is 1% typical?
