I don’t know your situation but this looks like reordering problem. All tools expect a time order.

Timeout increase might help.

I was pointed to this helpful set of slides from Vlad on how to troubleshoot and verify a network (https://speakerdeck.com/vladg/bro-deployment-verification-and-troubleshooting <https://speakerdeck.com/vladg/bro-deployment-verification-and-troubleshooting>).

Does anyone else have an equivalent network that they could sanity check for me? 2) Is there a good reference for these weird.log entries that I can look at to try to pin down what is going wrong in the network? I'm particularly interested in the HTTP_version_mismatch and a few other that Vlad mentioned in his presentation.

The other pcap is read just fine.
