RDP freezes for 5-10 seconds

So we have a pretty new XGS 2300 and we have some cases where we connect to our customers servers over an Ipsec Site-to-Site tunnel with RDP.

the tunnel is stable but sometimes the remote desktop session freezes for a short time.

I looked into the firewall logs and saw that the server which I connected to tried to reply with src port 3389 to a random high port UDP. Is this normal because UDP sends packages without acknowledgement or could this be the root of the problem.

I also looked into the thread where I should disable the ipsec-acceleration but havent tried this yet.

  • Hello  ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the community, currently the XGS 2300 is active on which firmware ?
    As in Version 19.5 GA Build 197, the following issue were fixed:


    By default IPsec acceleration is disabled on all appliances except XGS. 

    XG135w_XN03_SFOS 19.0.0 GA-Build317#

    console> system ipsec-acceleration show
    IPsec acceleration isn't available on XG Series hardware, virtual, software, and cloud devices.

    console> system ipsec-acceleration enable
    IPsec acceleration isn't available on XG Series hardware, virtual, software, and cloud devices.
