Hi all, I'm trying to understand some issue I have with compression when using PPP over IrDA (IrNET or IrCOMM). If I start PPP without any compression (nobsdcomp nodeflate novj), I start netperf things work absolutely great and solid. I looked at the tcpdump and verified that no packet gets reordered or dropped. If I start with compression, the netperf TCP connection stall almost immediately. In general I see "PPP: VJ uncompressed error" on the receiver (but not always). In some cases I can still ping after the TCP is stalled, but not always. Two SMP PPro 200MHz, one 2.5.72, the other 2.4.21. The same setup used to work fine 6 months ago. I looked at one of the tcpdump, and I noticed this : ------------------------- 14:33:13.808146 15.4.92.229.32792 > 15.4.91.45.32799: . 17377:18825(1448) ack 1 win 5840 <eol> (DF) ------------------------- What does the <eol> means ? Thanks in advance... Jean - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
