Hi sorry for the late reply. I am a bit confused. when side-A sends a request to side-B, and side-B return the response, but side-A keep re-transmit the same request to side-B, why side-B needed to send a ABORT to side-A? If it is used in order to reestablish the connection, shoudn't it should be side-A to send ABORT instead? - PS On Sat, Jan 24, 2015 at 3:05 AM, Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 01/23/2015 07:36 PM, Michael Tuexen wrote: > ... >> >> Yepp. It might not reach the peer or it might.
