ASA Overrun Errors & Packet Drops

ehayric1320
Level 1
Level 1

Hello. I have a customer who has been complaining of slow internet. I have verified packet loss pinging out to the internet on a users machine. A packet capture also shows a fair amount of TCP retransmissions and Out of order packets. Upon further inspection I also saw packet loss pinging to the internet from the ASA outside interface (Gi0/0/0) which connect to the ISP. Looking at the outside interface I saw a large number of errors which were all overrun errors.

I cleared Gi0/0/0 and have seen the errors begin again - all overrun errors. After reading I have found this can be a buffer oversubscription issue. Looking at the 'sh asp drop' outputs I see a large number 'tcp-rstfin-ooo' drops along with 'tcp-not-syn' drops. I have not run a capture on the ASA yet because I want approval from customer first.

What do you guys think? Is this more likely and ASA hardware/software issue or is this an ISP issue? This is a 5525-X model and the customer circuit is 1Gb.

Not an easy walk to solve this -- where is this interface connected,  does the ASA has an IPS module?

 

check any cable issue on first place (make sure there is no Physicals).

if possible try tweaking connection timeout

This is a 5525-X so yes it has the IPS module. The interface connects to the ISP router as far as I know. I am assisting remotely but can suggest replacing the cable. I would expect to see CRC type error if it was a physical issue.

I am seeing these issues on a users machine as soon as they initiate the connection to the internet (Office 365 for example) so I am not sure how increasing connection timeout from the 1 hour default would help but I can suggest it.
