Hi, While doing some tresting, I've noticed a funny behaviour of DCCP implementation in 2.6 kernel. From Ethereal capture seems that retransmitted response packets do not increment the sequence number. Is it a correct behaviour? If yes, then why is it done like this, since protocol's RFC instructs to increment on every outgoing packet. B.R. Vladimir. P.S. Don't know, it it has been already discussed on the list or not, or even patched. I have original DCCP version from 2.6.17 FC5, but havnt found anything related in archives of this list
Vladimir, You are correct in saying this and it hasn't been fixed yet as of the latest code. The reason for this is that we just clone the skb and haven't updated the header. Feel free to get in and fix if you want! I have added this to the DCCP to do list - http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/TODO#DCCP Thanks, Ian -- Ian McDonald Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4 Blog: http://imcdnzl.blogspot.com WAND Network Research Group Department of Computer Science University of Waikato New Zealand - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
