But in general, higher window offers via window scaling option is not a brand new feature, the RFC is from 1992. If the site don't support it, it should not offer the window scaling option in its SACK. That the problem was hidden up to now was pure luck because we never allow so high windows before, the higher window should help for high performance in the local network and so I think it's a good default, all newer kernel have it. Without knowing what exactely cause the problem I don't think that I can convince the netdevel people to change the current default. I see the same problem with vanilla 2.6.19 and the config from comment #12 so I do not know why it did work on Felix machine, maybe some other things influence the setup. Felix how much memory do you have in this machine ? Can you retest with your kernel from comment 12 and if it still works do a tcpdump ? (e.g. tcpdump -i eth0 -vv -n -l host www.marymount.edu |tee mary.log). And please post also the tcp_rmem settings (cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
