CPAS_TCP_PASS in event log

[fluffy998]

I am receiving these messages every minute in system event log:
CPAS_TCP_PASS_DATA: asked to transfer XXkb which is more thatn q(53). I have applied HFA 02, but still receiving the error. Am running in Win2k3. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just a guess here:

Looks like a QoS type error message? Do you perhaps have Microsft's QoS installed as a service on one of the LAN connections?

Is anything failing or particularly slow as a result of this error?

Can you elaborate any more on the config of the server, what services are installed for example?

[fluffy998]

No QOS installed :o(. Windows or Checkpoint.

Can't notice anything being particularly slow, all seems to be working ok.
The server itself is pretty basic, just NGX R60 installed, is gateway and Smartcentre on same machine. Firewall and VPN-1, and logging server is all it seems to be doing.

Since applying HFA02 the error has changed from q(53) to q(157), not sure if this has any relevance.

so far as i'm aware this is only an info error and doesn't actually cause any ill effects on operation. Try searching the nokia KB for it, think if i remember rightly its to do with an error in the streaming engine (something internal anyway). It should have been addressed in the latest HFA i think?

I've installed the latest HFA but still getting the error :o(.

Do u know the URL for the Nokia KB?

Thanks for your help.

Description:

In Checkpoint NGX Smartviewer log errors with cpas_tcp_pass_data are seen, these errors are from a bug the streaming engine. These errors can also show up in the messages file.

Example output

[LOG_CRIT] kernel: cpas_tcp_pass_data: asked to transfer 160 bytes which is more than in q(159)
[LOG_CRIT] kernel: cpas_tcp_pass_data: asked to transfer 89 bytes which is more than in q(88)

The data transfer sizes can vary.

Solution:

The issue was a problem in the MSN messenger inspection which miscalculated the buffer length by one byte.

There is a hotfix for this if you are running the base build of R60. This hotfix is already included in the R60_HFA_01 release and does not need to be installed again after applying R60_HFA_01 or R60_HFA_02.

Thanks guys. I'm running on Win2003, not using nokia box :o(. I've applied R60_HFA_02, but still received the error. not sure if I applied it wrong?, just ran the two files from the tgz file. - My server does everything, gateway as well as smartcentre.

I'll try running HFA_02 again and see if it's any better this time.
