I was downloading a new Google Earth when I noticed a LOT of max-size
dropped packets in my firewall log. I only allow RELATED,ESTABLISHED
sessions into my firewall.
tcpdump showed that every time Google sent a packet to satisfy the
missing data identified by SACK, that packet was rejected. So it must
have been missing the ESTABLISHED rule.
I fixed the problem by adding an ALLOW source port 80 rule for the
Google download site IP.
This makes me wonder how often this has happened and I haven't noticed
it. Is this a known bug or something new?
BTW, your netfilter Bugzilla is dead or at least 404 missing.
