If you are getting high packet loss - which apparently you are - then I would suggest that you first look at your network and resolve whatever problems exists. e.g. you may have failing hardware (switch or router) that needs to be replaced?

Configuring an ASYNC mirror is done in the same way as a "normal" synchronous mirror except you specify either asynchronous or asyncfullpage as the database mirroring mode. You use the SET MIRRORING OPTION statement to set the synchronization option.
