Hello,
I know, this is not really a Cisco related question, but with the outstanding expertise out there I though to try asking here ......
We are seeing a curious slow-down on our website downloads. The server is in a DMZ with 100M or GE interfaces throughout. Our Internet service is a 15M pipe, through a 100M interface/switch/outside segment. Sometimes we see downloads slow to pretty much 0 throughput. When this happens I see a huge number of re-ACKS (from the firewall to the server) and retransmissions (from the server to the firewall). It's like a retransmission storm ! Anyone shed any light onto this situation ? I have searched many different ways and have come up with nothing that describes our symptoms. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
