Symptoms

Assume that you install Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition on a computer that has more than 32 gigabytes (GB) of RAM. When the computer tries to communicate with another computer by using the TCP/IP protocol, all the TCP/IP packets that are received out of sequence are discarded. Additionally, the fragmented packets cannot be reassembled.Note This issue causes retransmission overhead. Additionally, all network-related activity is affected. For example, when you try to perform a file transfer or perform a remote access session on the computer, network performance is affected by the retransmission overhead.

Cause

This issue occurs because the TCP reassembly queue quota computation does not handle the overflow of ulong data correctly.

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.1.760 0.16xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    RTM

    GDR

    SP1

    LDR

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical 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 for Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
