WDS pushing PE boot wim for workstation imaging. Everything else coming from the server is transferring fine (normal speeds), but the wim is incredibly slow (~35min 2GB file). Wireshark shows this interesting bit of interaction where the server re-sends first packet in the block at the end of the block causing it to fumble. So instead of
server sends packets 1,2,3,4,5 client sends ACK 5
it goes
server sends packets 1,2,3,4,5,1 client sends ACK 4
Here is a screenshot of the Wireshark captures. This doesn't happen on every block, but it happens enough to cause the slowness. Normally the delta between each packet in the block is ~20 microseconds, but when the block gets screwed up, the last packet the server sends in the block takes ~2 seconds. Now multiply that by 1000x it happens during transfer session and it quickly adds up.
I've tried:
- reinstalling WDS
- changing TFTP block size
- removed the Windows update from March 19 just in case
- reducing the wim size
I couldn't find much on this particular issue, so any help is much appreciated.
