Web server connection to SQL Server: Response Packet [Malformed Packet]
- by John Murdoch
I am seeing very, very sluggish performance between my web server (which handles HTTP web services connections) and a separate server running Microsoft SQL Server 2008. I have been capturing packet traffic on the web server trying to understand why things are running so slowly. I am using Wireshark to capture the packet traffic.
The apparent problem is that the web server is sending TDS packets to the data server--each packet followed by a response from the data server with
Response Packet [Malformed Packet]
in the Info field. The packet sent from the web server appears to have an invalid checksum.
Has anyone seen this type of problem before? Any ideas?
