I would not change anything, just suggest that users who sit behind such a broken device do echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling and yell loudly at their ISPs to get this fixed. Crippling the stack by default just to work around such obvious bugs would be wrong. In the past there were similar bugs with broken VJ header compression algorithms that also corrupted window scaling. We just ignored these and suggested to the users to turn it off. That worked fine. [btw it's quite possible that this isn't a firewall, but also some kind of header compression that is doing the wrong thing] -Andi - : 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
