Hi,

I may be dependant how you configured the monitoring port on the core router. If it captures both ingress and egress packets it start to see double. The details I leave to the network operator buffs ;) .

Thanx,
Jaap

As of last week we started to monitor traffic from our internal Terminal Server to our internal SQL server using wireshark.

Our network is segmented in the following way:

VLAN for servers

Data VLAN for each floor in the building (six in total).

We installed wireshark on a separate workstation plugged into our core router with a monitoring port configured

Our first capture revealed over 40% of the traffic as �out-of-order� packets. When we performed a capture from the terminal server there was no such traffic. I wondering if this type of behavior is normal for terminal server communication. I hope someone can shed some light on this matter for me, it would greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
