What if the source is always the workstation?

 

This is an application that is performing very slowly and I’m not seeing anything else in the capture indicative of a problem other then a whole bunch of resets….

 

Thanks,

 

Adam

TCP Resets can be a normal way of closing a connection.

 

Is your application behaving properly or is it malfunctioning or very slow?

 

For a busy server, TCP Resets is a means that the server refuses additional connections.  If you use AOL IM (as an example), there are times when I get “AOL can’s be started” message and this is the server sending back TCP Resets.

 

The answer to your question really depends upon what you are seeing from an application perspective; you cannot really tell anything by just looking at the number.

Trying to understand what a lot of TCP Resets is indicative of?  I have a capture that is ~1500 frames and 85 of those are TCP.Resets.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Adam
