[c-nsp] Out of Order Packets

[Paul Stewart]

We are having a serious problem with some RAD gear that takes TDM voice and
converts it to IP and then back to TDM.  The gear (which I don't look after or
know much about) keeps complaining about "packets out of order"..... the
connection is a pair of 6509's and a pair of 2924 switches in between them
using a 100 Meg LAN extension (via local telco).

I ran the ttcp utility between them and get the same issue with packets out of
order but I'm not sure why... looking for input on the below capture..

Thanks,

Paul
