ERROR_RECEIVE_EXPEDITED

What ERROR_RECEIVE_EXPEDITED means

A network transport delivered data marked as expedited or out-of-band. In practical terms, this status belongs to transport priority data: the remote peer sent data through the protocol mechanism for urgent or expedited delivery.

Typical causes

  • A protocol uses TCP urgent data or an equivalent transport feature
  • A legacy TDI client distinguishes normal and expedited receive paths
  • The remote endpoint signaled high-priority control information

How to investigate

  1. Capture transport flags and peer endpoint
  2. Verify that the application has a defined expedited-data handler
  3. Check whether middleboxes or protocol conversions preserve the expected semantics

Developer guidance

Do not append expedited bytes blindly to the normal application stream. Their meaning is protocol-specific and often represents control rather than payload.
