Re: TCP Previous segment lost, TCP dup ACK

Thomas,

The message "TCP Previous segment lost” refers to the fact that the SEQ in
 packet 3381 has jumped ahead from the next SEQ expected from 192.176.3.132.
Wireshark is showing can't show the missing packet, so shows it in the next
segment from that source. The receiver also has detected a segment went
missing, and wants it quickly and hence the triple-ACK

 Hi Martin,



Ok, I agree. But the thing that confuses me is the dup ACK that is
”requesting” the fast retransmission is comming from 10.32.22.90 and the dup
acks are always post a ” TCP Previous segment lost” originated from
192.176.3.132 witch in my mind indicates that 192.176.3.132  is missing a
packet sent from 10.32.22.90.



Someone please enlighten a lost ”networker”!



Regards,

Thomas

I'd pretty certain that this 10.33.22.90 hoping to invoke Fast Retransmit

Hi,

...

From what I understand there is lost packets. Is there any way to see in
what direction the packets are getting dropped/lost?

Why is 10.32.22.90 sending the same ACK multiple times? Is "he" waiting for
a response on the ACK?? It does not make sence to me.

Regrads,
Thomas
