These server communicate internally

APPS server = 192.168.8.41 DB server = 192.168.4.125

Why certain time we notice there was RESET ?

Sample port 61047 = connection reset alt text

Hi suarez123, Well in case you just wonder about the RST packet from the APPS server: It sends it because the session has been closed from his perspective with frame number 6. Since the other end keeps sending data after another ~12 seconds 192.168.8.41 sends out a RST and makes 192.168.4.125 aware of the (half-)closed socket.

On the other hand your Apps server might just utilize a faster way of closing a session. Have a look at this: https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/13986/why-tcp-reset-sent-after-receive-finack-packet

hi,

Thank you SimonL...great.. Why the okey sample got 3 time TDS7 pre-login message ? Why the APP server send FIN ? The connection already done ? Could you compare with the port 59155 ?

Thank !!

The client (192.168.8.41) closes the connection by using the FIN Bit because he is missing the RESPONSE packet from the server after the client sends the first PRE-LOGIN packet. After he had closed the connection the server sends the RESPONSE and now the clients interacts with a RST.

So you can see why the server RESPONSE is delayed or you can tune the application timeout at client side.
