HI, I’m having trouble interpreting the data below. I know what there is lots of OOO packets I’m having trouble understanding who is getting the packets OOO and who is reporting it.

For example, I see 10.213.18.69 sending t Syn packet 10.213.1.11 and right below I see TCP OOF to source 10.213.18.69. What does this mean that host 10.213.1.11 is reporting it OOO? How is this happening even though it’s the first packet.

No. Time    Source  Destination Protocol    Length  Sequence number Next sequence number    Acknowledgment number   Info

79  37.477032   10.213.18.69    10.213.1.11 TCP 66  0   1   0   52715 → 389 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=64240 Len=0 MSS=1460 WS=256 SACK_PERM=1

80  37.477032   10.213.18.69    10.213.1.11 TCP 66  0   1   0   [TCP Out-Of-Order] 52715 → 389 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=64240 Len=0 MSS=1460 WS=256 SACK_PERM=1

I also see dups and RST at the end which am assuming it 10.213.1.11 terminated the connection because of the OOO packets. So is 10.213.1.11, the server, reporting all of this? This packet capture was on a cisco router on 10.213.18.69 FYI.

I would appreciate if someone could walk me through this TCP flow and break down what is happening, I understand the concept just not sure how to interpret the wireshark data.

TIA, Paul

Looks like the packet capture is making duplicates of every packet.

thanks, looked at the cap on the cisco router and i was indeed capturing two interfaces which passed the same traffic.

I was unaware and capturing traffic in/out in multiple interfaces that pass the same traffic and it was creating dups.

Like @Chuckc said, there's duplicates of every packet. Which is not uncommon when you capture on a monitor port, where both ingress and egress traffic of a switch fabric is captured, for instance. This is where editcap -d comes to shine, allowing you to remove the duplicates
