Symptoms

Assume that you use a Windows Socket-based application to send data locally between a client and a server that are running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. In this situation, the data transfer stops intermittently or is delayed for five seconds.

Cause

This problem occurs because of the Silly Window Syndrome (SWS) avoidance timer. The SWS timer is scheduled to send the remaining data bytes, and this represents less than one maximum segment size (MSS) or 1,460 bytes. Additionally, the receiver is supposed to send an acknowledgement (ACK) message that advertises the increased receive window and indicates that the remaining data bytes can be sent. However, if the receiver sends an ACK within 5 seconds when it has a sufficient buffer, the SWS timer cannot recover the five-second delay status because of a race condition. The race condition exists when packets reach the destination in reverse order.

The English (United States) version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notesImportant Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies to" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table.

    Version

    SP1

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, extremely important issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
