Trace the network connection close sequence on the Database Engine

  • आलेख

This article presents examples of a network trace that captures the sequence during when a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection between a client application and the SQL Server Database Engine (the server) is closed. Understanding these patterns is crucial for diagnosing network behavior, identifying pooling strategies, and optimizing connection management in web or service applications.

Closing connection types

This article provides examples for normal TCP connections, and Multiple Active Result Sets (MARS) connections. MARS is a feature of SQL Server, introduced with SQL Server 2005 (9.x), that allows multiple commands to be executed on a connection without having to clean up the results from the first command, before running the second command. MARS is achieved through session multiplexing (SMUX).

This section describes several examples of closing a network connection.

  • The client IP address is 10.10.10.104
  • The server IP address is 10.10.10.22

Closing packets

This example shows a normal connection close sequence. Note the low frame numbers and time offsets. This sequence is most likely a pooled connection closure. This should occur within 30 seconds of the beginning of the trace, or you might also see keep-alive packets.

Transact-SQL statements and closing packets

This example shows closing a nonpooled connection, after two Transact-SQL statements. If this connection was nonpooled, you could also see keep-alive packets associated with sending the connection back into the connection pool, instead of the closing packets immediately following the last response from the server. We recommend pooling connections in any sort of web or service application to allow connection reuse. Connection pooling reduces the number of connections to the server, and minimizes the cost and delay associate with new connections.

Idle or pooled connection being closed

The connection is closed 10 seconds after the previous keep-alive exchange (see Delta column).

Note

The parser mistakenly marks the initial ACK+FIN packet (Frame 1881) as a keep-alive ACK packet, because the previous keep-alive packet. However, it is initializing the connection closure.
