This log message is related to either TCP retransmission issues (for protocols such as HTTP) or the VPN configuration. It can be a Site-to-Site VPN, Client-to-Site VPN, L2TP or PPTP setup.
The following is a check list for troubleshooting Packet Retransmission messages:
- Check MTU settings- Navigate to Network | System | Interfaces | WAN | Advanced | Interface MTU.
NOTE: It is recommended to check the 'Fragment outbound packets larger than WAN MTU' if the MTU is set below the default of 1500. Use the 'Update' button to process the changes entered. - Fragment Packet Handling should be enabled.
- Pre-shared Key mismatch should be checked.
- Check the gateway IP address and firewall name or serial number specified in the VPN policy on each end of the tunnel.
- Lower the encryption settings.
- Check the upstream device configuration.
