Fear of it has caused mitigating changes to be made to the TCP protocol itself. The attack has had real-world consequences. A spoofed TCP segment, crafted and sent by an attacker, tricks two victims into abandoning a TCP connection, interrupting possibly vital communications between them. If you capture at the sender and see out of orders coming out you've got something very unusual, which would require further investigation into the TCP stack.A TCP reset attack is executed using a single packet of data, no more than a few bytes in size. Generally speaking, senders do not send out packets out of order, they get mixed up on the way. Depending on prioritization and buffer management in routers and other devices packets sometimes get forwarded earlier than those already waiting in line. To diagnose that you'd need a capture taken simultaneously close to the other node.ģ) It does not have to be a multi route path. if the ack didn't make it to the server, or for any other reason.
If you have bottlenecks in your network you can see tons of dup acks sent out before receiving the retransmission I just broke a record in a case I analyzed recently where there were more than 1000 duplicate ACKs for one single lost packet.Ģ) this can happen to, e.g. And that is in situations where everything else is working fine.

That way your receiver keeps pumping out dup acks while the fast retransmission process takes one full RTT (plus a bit more) to get processed. Keep in mind that your 3 dup acks need to travel half the RTT to the sender, and then the retransmission needs to come back to you (another half RTT). I did the capture at the server end(also as the data sender).In my situation, the client end(as data receiver) send request to the server, then the server send data back.ġ) Usually, the reason why you see is tons of DUP acks before the fast retransmission comes in is that you're close to the destination of the lost packet, which means the distance is very short.
This is a question that has been asked by Janis Bishop. I've found retransmission happend after being acked. In my opinion, fast retransmission will happen while receiving 3 same duplicate acks, but in reality it happens after dozens of or even more than one hundred acks have been received. I'm using Wireshark to analyze capture file dumped with tcpdump, but I can't understand some results as follows:
