I really can't think of a better place to ask this, so If anyone has any ideas of a place better suited please let me know (no flames please). I'm looking for a (free or quite inexpensive) tool to help diagnose some bizzare TCP problems we're having with some TCP flows stalling exactly 32k into the transfer. This isn't the same file and it's almost exacly 32k each time... but I digress. Is there a tool out there that can sniff a TCP flow and do some basic analysis such as missed acks, duplicate packets, Window Sizes, etc. etc. Mainly, I'm looking at something which can compare what it sees with some semblance of a normal flow and pick out "errors". Other tools to track down stalls would be helpful also. No, I'm not looking for ping tools or flood tools, etc., but instead something which can help me determine why this particular TCP implementation is stalling consistently in serveral different environments so I can go yell at the vendor. I realize that most if not all packet sniffers will provide the information neccessary to do this analysis by hand, but picking apart multiple flows bit by bit can be tedious and error prone, and not something I particularly want to do if there is an easier way.
