Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Strange capture file

Hi ,

 

I have a couple of captures done on a Windows XP PC where the user has complained about “lags” when he works on the companies Citrix server. The capture shows tcp out of order on about 30% of the packet, explaining the user’s experience. The majority of packets with this warning have the PC’s IP address as source and the Citrix servers IP address as destination. The part I don’t get is how packets sent from the local PC is able to be categorized as out of order by the Wireshark capture running on the same PC?

 

 

Thanks in advance,
