Hello there, if anybody here could help me out with this, I would be very gratefull. While hunting for some "connect delays" on our network, I wrote a very simple endless loop connecting and disconnecting to some TCP port. Loop consists of a socket(), bind(), connect() and close(). It works fine for about 300 or so iterations and then connect() blocks once for exactly 3 seconds. Loops then continues normaly and after another few hundereds of iterations connect() pauses again. And again, for 3 seconds. This happens also when testing through loopback interface to localy listening TCP socket. I believe this my problem is somehow connected with http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/net/9710.3/0084.html as it's the only post I found mentioning these 3 seconds timeouts. However, I try to bind to arbitrary source port so I if got that post right, it should be working fine. I tried to set tw_recycle and tw_reuse to 1 - but no success. What am I missing here? -- Michal Feix michal@xxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
