Re: TCP Previous segment lost, TCP dup 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 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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
