I have a capture that my analysis software (Observer) is showing as lots of udp netbios name query retransmissions.
(the capture was obtained by spanning ingress only on our main VLAN)
When I look at the decode, I see station 1 making a name request, station 2 responding with a negative response, in half an ms, then station 1 asking again 3 seconds later.
This repeats twice (original plus 2 addtl requests for same info) Observer is counting the 2 followup requests as retransmissions
I wsa thinking it was normal behaviour for the extra requests if the WINS server doesnt know the queried name, is it not?
Or is there something else I should be looking at?
Thanks for your help!!
