Hi list !

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this kind of request.

I have a problem with an ODBC connection to a PostgreSQL server. The answer to my query takes a very long time to come to to my workstation. My investigations led me to think that the problem lies within my workstation's TCP/IP stack (i.e. the query runs very fast and all other workstations on my network).

I have made an ethereal log in which I witness something very strange : there is a very long delay (>0.15s) between packets and ACK, every 15 packets (approximatively).

My knowledge of TCP/IP is quite limited, and I do not understand where this delay comes from.

Could someone here have a look at this log and tell me why there is such a delay, and maybe how I could fix this issue ?


Thanks a lot for your help !
Regards
