Hi all, hope someone will be able to help me.

I have a random problem in client to server communication.

user is blaming that ( randomly ) they are not able to use a previoulsy working application. Sometimes they are not able to "change" the page they are brwowsing or just to input some values in a form. they have to wait approx 30 secs or so...or refresh the page.

network architecture is : Windows client connected via vpn IPSEC to an AWS Linux server that publish ssl application on port 8443

i've made a client ( wireshark...first screen ) and a server ( tcpdump second screen) capture and i've noticed something odd ( for me ).

it seem that when users are not able to "browse the page" i get some retrassmission at both client and server side ( attached ) and finally i get a rst/ack from client.

As per my understanding, it seem both client and server are not able to communicate eachother but the network seem stable because i've also runt a pingplotter that pools the destination server continuosly and i have no packet drop ( 3rd immage ) or interruptions. No latency ( 30ms average and no jitter ).

any idea what could cause the problem

as additional note...just noticed the same behaviour using ssh connection....several retrasmission than RST-ACK

the odd thing is that i had 2 ssh session from the same source pc....and i noticed that when one fail the other is still active...so it can't be a connection problem itself. it must be related to the single session.

any hit?

here the ssh capture
