@SYN-bit Oh wait, i think i read it wrong. I thought it was an alert that has something to do with the encrypted session

@SYN-bit @Packet_vlad Once again thanks very much for all the info. I seem to understand what's happening. I just don't

@Packet_Vlad & @SYN-bit The capture is still running but as i was afraid: the customer is already off so i don't thi

@SYN-bit Capture is already running again. Now i just need to hope the customer is still working and generating a packet

@SYN-bit No problem. Unfortunately i've already deleted this trace but since this behaviour is happening regularly, i co

@Packet_vlad Alright, that makes sense. But could you also say that in this case it's pretty harsh for 172.24.9.13 to se

Alright, thanks once again. I need to focus a bit on the ACK's since it's not yet 100% clear to me to see what packet(s)

Hi all, I'm trying to understand the complete flow of a TCP sequence and i think our application is sometimes not closing TCP sessions right but i'm not 100% sure.

Please see the following: image description

My concerns are with the closing stage of the TCP connection.

  • Packet #2262 is a [FIN,ACK] but shouldn't there be a [FIN] from the other side first?
  • Packet #2265 shows the same but the other way around
  • I can't place those random [ACK]'s at #2264 and #2267.

Why am i asking? This is a capture from our firewall. Apparently, something in this connection is triggering a "new connection" on our firewall. I'm suspecting it has something to do with this TCP connection not being closed gracefully and [ACK]'s coming after the [FIN,ACK]'s but i'm not 100% sure.

Would be great to get some help!

Thanks in advance,

Eric
