Another bit to addr to the firewall / window scale mess: I remember from a while ago that the Cisco PIX firewalls would not allow a window scale of greater than 8. I don't know if they've fixed this or not. It seems like some sort of arbitrary limit. This is obviously not the problem people are seeing now, but could be a problem in the future. -John - : 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
