Hi Vlad,

we are currently testing the receive behaviour of Linux (and
other systems).

We are using Fedora 9, kernel 2.6.25-14.

The receiver application just opens a 1-to-many style socket
and sleeps forever, not reading any messages.

The sender (on a different machine), sends a lot of messages of the
same size, all on stream 0, ordered.

When setting the receive buffer space (using the SO_RCVBUF socket option)
to 10000 we oberserve the following:

- When sending messages of size 1000 bytes, the receiver SACK the first,
  announces 9000 bytes windows, SACKs the second announces 8000 bytes
  and so on. Look fine. The a_rwnd goes down to 0 and discards messages.
  Everything is fine.

- When sending messages of size 100 bytes, the receiver SACKs the first
  messages and reduces the a_rwnd accordingly. Then it looks like the
  receive buffer grows, because messages are accepted and the a_rwnd does
  not shrink. Is this intended?

No.  The a_rwnd should go down to 0 as before.

  We also figured out that after about 670947 messages of size 100 bytes
  the association is aborted. Is this intended?

This is also not intended.  We'll take a look.

Thanks

- Sending messages of size 10 bytes is similar to 100 byes.

Best regards
Michael
