Hi all I was wandering if anyone came across the same TCP traffic behaviour. There are about 30 sites in Europe. There are 3000 people working on thoses sites. All are connected through a cisco router to the MPLS network. The configuration of all routers is one standard configurations When ping from PC C:\>ping www.google.com -l 1500 -f Pinging www.l.google.com [209.85.229.147] with 1500 bytes of data: Packet needs to be fragmented but DF set.

The peer doesn't send either TCP duplicated ACKs requesting retransmission of the lost packets. I believed that in TCP connection needs to ACK every single packets and lost packet will always be retransmitted. Could anyone please advise. ... View more
