When ever I record a trace it ends up being the following: Three packet handshake is normal Established state goes normally Client issues a FIN/ACK State table time-out drops to 2 minutes Server still has data to send so continues to ACK State table time-out expires Server gets blocked at ACK or FIN/ACK stage, session never finishes There is obviously data getting blocked (based on the packet size) but I've never had a user complaint. > Jun 23 16:43:22 javagreen kernel: IPT INPUT packet died: IN=eth1 OUT= > MAC=ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:00:0d:60:40:99:db:08:00 SRC=0.0.0.0 DST=255.255.22.255 > LEN=340 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=128 ID=0 PROTO=UDP SPT=68 DPT=67 LEN=320 You are blocking bootp/DHCP traffic.
