Description

Resolution:
Mixing fast-producing hosts and slow-consuming hosts can generate a lot of problems.  This is due to the fact that fast-producing hosts end up being forced to retransmit more than they should to slow-consuming hosts that already have trouble handling their nominal traffic.  This set-up wastes bandwidth and stresses the network infrastructure from end to end.

Frequent or a large number of DATALOSS advisories should be investigated.  Rvtrace, our protocol-monitoring tool, can help the network and TIBCO administrators' pinpoint:

- What computers are inundating the network?
- What computers are sending or receiving an inordinate number of retransmission requests?
