I've seen databases do this to fill fields with null data, when the field is requested and is configured for a fixed length of 10KB, you'll get however much useful data, with the rest padded up to the 10KB mark.

Sorry; Forgot the packet scan

Maybe this group can add some insight to what is
happening with this NetWare server
It seems that when a PC makes the connection
to the server and request a file. The file is sent to the workstation,
but the packet scans show the data segment is padded with 0's. The
packets are full size 1460 bytes and sent multiple packet before the ACK. It
appears that we run through this cycle of requesting the file and getting 0
data. If we stop the PC or disable the switch port, the problem seems
to move to another PC. Have not been able to define any patterns on
PC or network segments
Can anyone perhaps after reviewing the scan
section see anything that we could use to isolate the problem or at least be
able to identify the issues to the vendor.
Thanks
Dan
