Hi Team, Server is sending TCP reset frequently and not sure the reason. we use windows server 2016 + windows NLB and it is vmnet3 network adapter of vmware. Please find the capture logs from client machine

Is it one client or many that have this issue?

Many of the client have this issue but all intermittent. It doesn't happen always...

There is no packet drop or firewall block at client and sever level but not sure what happened..

It looks good right up till it isn't (server sends RST).
(Makes it through Step 7. in Establishing a Secure Session by Using TLS)
Are you getting schannel events in the Windows logs? Maybe increase the logging.

If you can share a packet capture it makes it easier to peer inside the back and forth of TLS.

Thank you for your inputs.. let me check the above details.

In TCP RST,ACK packet wireshark warning says "group" 'sequence".

The User's Guide has a section on Expert Info entries.
It's possible to Customize the Wireshark Expert to reduce the serverity of RST.

RST packets are usually a sign of someone not wiulling to continue. This could be an application issue.

But Windows NLB can become a real night mare in some networks and I would try to avoid it at almost any cost.

Thank you for you answer. I checked application related issues using the gudielines provided herehttps://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/.... also we donot have any firewall in middle. only middle man is windows NLB 2016

windows NLB routes distribute the traffic to two hosts by using single affinity and without extenended affinity timeout. still am not sure what is real cause of this . as there is no packet drops in the above mentioned packets.

Also i found noting useful in windows event logs for schannlel and windows NLB (it is already enabled)
