ALL, From a few days we have been experiencing a slow application response time. Could any one suggest me what is the detail meaning of the headers (Local Address Remote Address Swind Send-Q Rwind Recv-Q State) on the netstat -a command. Also I see big numbers under the header Send-Q and Recv-Q. Does this mean network delays. The application server and the DB server are two saperate servers. NEED an SOS response.

Recv-Q and Send-Q are used to show the socket buffer status. Values are in bytes. These values should allways be 0, because the socket buffer will be flushed very quick. If you have values there than it is an indicator for a bad network response. Local Address is your own Network interface + Port Foreing address is the IP of the remote client + port number. e.g 120.0.0.1.23 120.0.0.2.40212 menas the connection used your interface with the assosiated address 120.0.0.1. on Port 23 (which is a telnet session). Remote partner for the telnet is the PC with IP 120.0.0.2 on port 40212. No RISK no fun Frank
