Hi there,

Hello Adnan,
see
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/security/command/reference/sec_i3.html#wp1060958
three of the 4 messages are caused by the fact that the router holds fragments of a big TCP PDU and it has no space for others and so it has to drop.
the third one is caused by timer expiration.
>> The max-reassemblies number option and the max-fragments number option allow you to configure maximum threshold values to avoid a buffer overflow attack and to control memory usage.
In addition to configuring the maximum threshold values, each IP datagram is associated with a managed timer. If the IP datagram does not receive all of the fragments within the specified time (which can be configured via the timeout seconds option), the timer will expire and the IP datagram (and all of its fragments) will be dropped.
you could try to increase the max-fragments to see if the frequency of message reduces if these sessions are started from inside (from private IP addresses)
Hope to help
Giuseppe
