<br>
Whenever a packet arrives with a sequence number that's lower than the<br>
lower end of the replay window (i.e. with seq < highest_received_seq -<br>
window). Could be an actually delayed packet but might also be because<br>
the window is simply too small for your line speed and traffic pattern,<br>
e.g. because packets arrive so fast and in quick succession that the<br>
window is moved constantly and too quickly so slightly delayed (or<br>
perhaps larger) packets have to be dropped.<br>

<br>
Yes, those stats indicate errors, so it's good if everything is 0 there.<br>

<br>
Did you configure a replay window size<br>
(connections.<conn>.children.<child>.replay_window in swanctl.conf)?<br>
The default is 32, which is pretty low.<br>
