What does it mean when a packet is duplicated?
Duplicate Packets Duplicate packets are an often observed network behaviour. A packet is duplicated somewhere on the network and received twice at the receiving host. It is very often not desireable to get these duplicates, as the receiving application might think that’s “fresh” data (which it isn’t).
What happens if one of the packets goes missing?
If one of these packets in the stream goes missing, the receiving socket can indicate which packet was lost using selective acknowledgments. These allow the receiver to continue to acknowledge incoming data while informing the sender of the missing packet (s) in the stream.
What does duplicate ACK mean in network analyzer?
Most network analyzers will flag these packets as duplicate acknowledgements because the ACK number will stay the same until the missing packet is retransmitted, filling the gap in the sequence. Typically, duplicate acknowledgements mean that one or more packets have been lost in the stream and the connection is attempting to recover.
Can a connectionlessprotocol detect a duplicate packet?
ConnectionlessProtocols such as UDP won’t detect duplicate packets, because there’s no information in, for example, the UDP header to identify a packet so that packets can be recognized as duplicates.
