Hi,
I’m using nginx as a reverse proxy to my backends. I see sometimes the
request time is too big while the upstream response time is quite
small:

upstream_response_time: 0.287
As I analyze the access log, I see sometimes there are many logs like
above which the request time is 5 or more bigger than upstream
response time.
For find out the big difference between the request time and request
respons time, i use tcpdump to get packages on nginx server 80 port
like :
As I analyze the packages I find many Strange phenomenon below:

I analyze many nginx access log with tcpdump packages. I find
sometimes the nginx server does not response ack on the client in
time, when the client post request to server, and in some cases the
server does not send any package more after The three handshake with
client.
I fell quite puzzled why nginx log the request time 5.260 seconds
while the nginx server send the ack package 40 seconds later.
And I try debug the nginx, I find the request time logged after the
ngx_http_finalize_request, which call the sendfile to write the
reseult the tcp sk_buffer.
I guess there is some thing wrong with my system or network, but i use
netstat -s -t, i find no packages dropped outgoing:
2922 ICMP packets dropped because they were out-of-window
73 ICMP packets dropped because socket was locked
927337 SYNs to LISTEN sockets dropped
Any idea what’s happening and how to resolve this problem ?
Thanks.
