Hi all,

 

I’m monitoring a problem application and am seeing a lot of ‘reassembled PDU’ frames from the server back to the client.

 

The network looks like this:

 

Server --- Firewall --- VPN Router --- WAN --- VPN Router --- Client

 

I’m monitoring between the firewall and the router and/or server and firewall.

 

These frames are not at the maximum MTU size, some are as small as 60 bytes. Am I right in thinking the ‘reassembled PDU’ message is stating that the frame is part of a larger segment or that this a fragmented frame?

 

I think I understand what’s going on but thought I would call on the wisdom of ethereal-users to help me out! :o)

 

Thanks.
