RETRANSMISSION.OUTBOUND.SUPPRESSED

Advisory

Subject Name Syntax

_RV.INFO.SYSTEM.RETRANSMISSION.OUTBOUND.SUPPRESSED

Purpose

A sending daemon produces this advisory when it ignores retransmission requests from a chronically-lossy receiver.

Remarks

A communications daemon presents this advisory to subscribing clients.

Diagnosis

This advisory indicates that the retransmission control (RXC) feature has identified a chronically-lossy receiver, and is protecting network bandwidth by ignoring its retransmission requests. Each advisory corresponds to one suppressed request.

Check the indicated receiver for the following possible problems:

•

Some hardware component is experiencing intermittent failures; the component could be a faulty network card, a loose connection, or a frayed wire.

•

A Rendezvous daemon process on the receiving host is starved for CPU cycles; either its host computer is too heavily loaded, or the priority of the daemon process is too low.

•

The rate at which inbound data arrives overwhelms the capacity of the receiving host computer, which has insufficient CPU power, network bandwidth, memory, or some other limiting resource.

•

If these advisories indicate several hosts on the same network, the problem could be in the network routing or switching hardware.
