TCP dump having retransmissions and DUP ACK every other packet

 

Information

 

Summary:

Currently observing tcp retransmissions and TCP DUP ACK every alternate packet in pcap

Environment:

Product:Loadmaster

Version:Any

Platform: Any

Application:N/A

Question/Problem Description:

When a packet capture is taken on the kemp, we are observing tcp retransmissions and DUP ACK packets frequently together with production traffic.

What is the cause of such behavior?

Steps to Reproduce:  
Error Message:  
Defect Number:  
Enhancement Number:  
Cause:

Check if a bonded interface is being configured on the subnet being monitored on Kemp. If so, the retransmissions and DUP ACK are normal effects of capturing packets on a bonded interface.

Bonded interface example:

2023-06-22

 

Non bonded interface example:

2023-06-22

Resolution: This is normal behavior.
Workaround:
