I having having issue with few of my servers sending Reset packet to a particular IP. I have disabled my firewall and noticed that few machines (Unix/Windows) is still sending Reset package to one IP only. Reset packet will be sent over on all ports except icmp ping.
Anybody know where to check? Or the server on the other IP is having problem which cause my servers to send the Reset packet
I am noticing some packet loss on one of my boxes, most notably when i'm accessing the webmail (however i'm pretty sure it's not that)
Can anyone offer some tips as to how to nail this down?
I have been faced with a packet flooding issue.
Quick scenario, I run a few public game servers, and we have had a member go insane.
This member has been using a piece of software, to do a simple DDoS attack, and when they perform this attack, it laggs everybody out, and takes down the individual game server.
While this is occurring, I have been watching with a network analyzer program, and noticed the packets go sky high (from 4.4k to 150k+).
So, I am in need of a quick, piece of software that can block flood attacks, or whatever is going on.
I have a dedicated windows 2003 server at a colocation facility that i use for game server hosting. Over the past 7 months, packet loss has become horrible with random periods of massive lag. My host says it's something on my end. I use a firewall with SPI enabled. Could that be causing it?
Strange thing is, the first few months my server was at that colo, they only had around 40 other servers on a single OC-192 pipe and i never had packet loss despite having the same SPI firewall. But now they have over 300 servers on the same OC-192 pipe. Could the packet loss be caused by my SPI firewall or them overloading the network with servers?
I migrated a client from a Windows server to Linux and everything is fine except that mail sent to this client (say, example1.com) from a particular domain (say, example2.com) simply disappears and does not reach at all. Mail sent to that other domain (example2.com) from my new client (example1.com) is delivered correctly.
Incidentally, that other domain (example2.com) from which the mail is sent is with the hosting provider who was earlier providing services for my newly acquired client. Should I suspect anything? Or, is there a way to figure out what's happening?
I have MailScanner running on my VPS, but it isn't configured to filter at RBL level, only at Exim level, so I don't think this is the issue.
We have a license application client(IBM/LUM) that connects to a license server outside our network.
The clients works this way... it binds a random port and tries to connect to the remote IP with UDP port 1515.
Through wireshark I could see that it reaches the destionation, although the way back is unreachable.
If I add this random port to our router Port Forward rule, it works perfectly. Although this is not a solution cause the port is changing every time.
Isnt this strange? Other applications open random ports as well and comunication is two-way reachable.
If I connect directly to the internet, it works perfectly as well.
What can I try to do with our ZyWall USG300 Router to fix this situation?
Basically I registered with a new host. They sent me the details with obviously includes the IP address. I tested the IP address on just-ping.com and it came back with all of them having between 80% to 100% packet loss. Surely this is not normal is it? I havent moved my domain yet but it doesnt look good does it? Should I cancel?

Anyone else experiencing packet loss with a GoDaddy VDS?
I'm in the 208.109.93 subnet.
--- google.com ping statistics ---
200 packets transmitted, 53 received, 73% packet loss, time 199086ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 41.970/42.813/46.022/0.994 ms
with two 3com 3870 switches.
Our setup looks like this
Computer A (GigE) Switch 1 (gigE) Media Converter (Fiber Run) Media Converter (gigE) Switch 2 (gigE) Computer B
We have a cross connect in our data center that uses media converters (fiber) to regular 1000FD on each end.
Each end of the 1000FD handoff is plugged into port 1 of the 3870's (switch 1 and switch 2).
Pinging from Computer A to Computer B we receive a 50% packet loss.
Pinging from Computer B to Switch 1, no packet loss.
Pinging from Computer A to Switch 2, 50% packet loss.
Looking in the interface, the port 1's on each switch auto negotiate to 1000FD, however flow control shows as off.
We asked our data center to run tests on the media converts and fiber runs and everything comes back 100% fine. Has anyone seen a weird issue like this before with 3com switches not playing nicely with media converters?
I have no clue whats going on and our data center said the fiber run/media converter is fine... [url]
I have smokeping monitoring my game servers and so far in the little time that it has been running all my game servers have been encountering an average of 4 to 10% packet loss. Are there are tweaks i can run on the server computer to reduce packet loss? (registry modifications, etc.)
I downloaded a TCP tweak program called "TCP Optimizer" is it safe to run on a Windows 2003 Server OS?
The colo connection is an OC 192 and i have a 100Mbit ethernet card.

How to check in Unix machine? My server is sending a Reset packet to the specific IP.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a home CentOS server and here is my issue
When I try to connect to it via SSH its laggy and often times out. I also notice packet loss.
My home network is 100 Mbps and the router is a crappy netgear WPN824 V3
How do packet losses affect running of a website, say i get packet loss for some site like around 30-40% but can still browse their websites, so how do packet losses affect working of a website ?
View 6 Replies View RelatedRecently I have been having this problem with two high traffic servers on two different network.
Both servers are Quad-Core Xeons with CentOS 4.5 x86_64 and they are on 100mbps full duplex network. Software configuration is Nginx+Apache+MYSQL control panel is Directadmin.
The servers are serving lots static files and some php scripts.
When the servers start push near or over 30mbps, there will be packet loss when I ping them. around 5% loss, push more bandwidth the more packet loss. I have checked all the log files, I don't see any unusual errors.
Server Load is fine. The NICs were on 100mbps full-duplex mode.
The datacenters claim the networks were fine and all the other servers running on the same switches were fine with no packet loss.
I'm trying to find out why a single interface is causing packet loss on my entire network.
The network consists of four 2924's trunked to a 3550. I have about 20 vlans and a single default route for all traffic my uplink.
The network is perfect until I enable a single server. After I issue a 'no shut' on the interface packet loss is anywhere from 5% to 20% for anything going through the 3550 or even pings from the 3550 to other switches or the uplink.

How does 1400 packets/second (4mbits) cause my 3550 to drop packets?
Our network have been ddosed very heavily for the last 15 days.
These attacks are relatively small 50 - 100 mbits at most but in very very high PPS rate.My firewall counts 10Billion packets in a single hour of an attack period.
We are dealing with these attacks with a combination of freebsd pf transparent bridge firewalls and mostly null routing.
I were able to capture some packets from different attacks from last week and today.
After deeply checking these attack capture files I can see that our attack comes from several thousands different spoofed Ip addresses but always the same mac address in their packet headers.So I thought if this attack is coming to us from a single machine rather than hundreds of different zombie servers.
I don't have a clue how to trace back this attack and find the real ip address behind. My upstream provider also don't have enough knowledge to help me.
So after todays attack I thought about sharing my capture files during attack and hope that someone here will help me. And show me a way to trace back these attacks.
ip_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
What does that error mean? It's related to iptables right? When I do this cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max, I get
65536
I increased it
131072
Because someone recommended me this number because I have 4gb of RAM. But I still get the table full errors or
host kernel: printk: 500 messages suppressed
What should I do? Should I keep increasing the number? How do I know how much I can increase it by?
a tool that can measure how much packet loss we are having on a given server by looking at the packets being sent from it. I.e, something than looks at all TCP/80 connections and measures how many packets and bytes are being retransmitted vs actual packets and bytes sent.
This documents explains it:
[url]
We need this to measure network performance of different hosts where we have dedicated servers. This would be a good way of measuring performance with the actual data of our users.
Does anyone know of such tool? I.e, something that can say
2532 packets/second - 132 retransmits/second (4.8%)
25.43Mbps/sec total traffic - 24.84 Mbps/sec actual data sent - 0.59Mbps retransmits
Even better if it can then break it out on IP prefixes. like
192.0/16: 0.2% retransmits
192.1/16: 3.2% retransmits
192.2.16: 0.3% retransmits
192.3/16: 22.5% retransmits
192.4/16: 0.3% retransmits
This would be a good indicator of connectivity between the host where the tests are ran and other specific hosts.
I have 2 identical boxes with FC6 and the same settings and almost the same amount of traffic.
Kernel is 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6 SMP
One is running without problem. The other become slow after few days and from errors I get this message:
nf_conntrack: table full, dropping packet
The table do not clean up automatically as reboot solve the problem. How to flush nt_conntrack table without reboot?
The limit is 65536, setting it double seems to solve the problem but I'm not sure it is the way to go.
I am facing high ping and packet loss issues with a server hosted at hetzner.de (CentOS + WHM)
For some unknown reason pings go high and stay like this (average 1500ms) until I reboot the server.
Here is a screenshot of tracert from server to me: [url]
I recently switched over to SoftLayer for dedicated hosting and the servers are great. However we've been getting hit on and off with massive (50-80%) packet loss, which has been crippling our performance and causing all sorts of problems
I put in a support ticket and they linked me to the Internet Health Report website and said it was due to one of their bandwidth providers (I think Global CrossinG) and not on their internal network and to be patient as it could take time to resolve
Are any other SoftLayer customers going through this? Is this an unusual occurrence? I feel like if it was really one of their partners that it would be affecting a lot of their customers and it would be a high priority issue right?
I'm kind of stuck on what to do; I just invested a lot of energy into moving content onto these new servers and am concerned about whether to wait it out or whether to start finding a new company. This kind of packet loss is really unacceptable...
