Troubleshooting
Problem
TCP retransmissions are a frequent cause of connection timeouts and throughput problems, but they are invisible to the application layer. This document provides instructions for correlating TCP retransmissions with application errors in a way that is less resource intensive and easier to review compared to packet captures.
Symptom
Symptoms that may be a result of TCP retransmissions in WebSphere Application Server include the following:
- TCP connection timeouts between the WebSphere WebServer Plugin and the application server
- HTTP request delays or timeouts when transmitting large HTTP request bodies.
- HTTP response delays or timeouts between the WebSphere WebServer Plugin and the application server or between IBM HTTP Server and the browser
