Some thoughts, nothing very earth-shattering yet... It seems that the server (port 995) never leaves SYN-RECV state because it keeps retransmitting SYNACKs. While the other end (the client) is doing it's best to ACK them (correctly) and it also tries to send some data which never gets through and retransmissions are attempted for it (those packets also contain a ACK seqno that should be enough to end the SYN-RECV but for some reason that never happens). Eventually the connection is RSTed. I'll look through 2.6.24..25 history once I have some time to see if there are some clues about the cause. I'm also having a problem in figurin out why would the frto patch you tested solve this issue (unless there are two issues in the picture). -- i.
