It probably means just that for window scales of 0..2 the misinterpretation does not result in a too-small-to-send-data window. But I'm still confused that the scaled window is being given to the receiver, and this makes the connection freeze. I wonder if there is a queer box doing NAT or similar in front of the gentoo machine which either: 1) Applies any window scaling to both directions 2) Applies window scaling to the wrong direction and uses this to "help" with dropping of out-of-window TCP segments. - : 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
