we have seen this since 4.x
I think a fix may be in 7.0 but I'm not sure..
I thin kthere is a problem when the far end sets the window down to 1
but scales it by a factor of 2^{big number}.
Andre, can you check out this problem and MFC the correct fix
if it is indeed the same problem in 6.2?
It is the same problem; I took the (one-line) fix as indicated by
http://cvs.ironport.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/freebsd/src/sys/netinet/tcp_syncache.c.diff?r1=1.84&r2=1.85
(well, not cvs.ironport.com, which doesn't seem to exist at the moment),
and applied the diff from 1.84 to
1.85 and to a 6.2-PRERELEASE box updated around 25 Dec 06.
It works like a charm.
I would vote to MFC 1.85 now that 6.2 is out.
The diff, for those who are following along at home, is:
