Some dialup terminal servers have problems with TCP options; turning off TCP_EXTENSIONS is the easiest way to handle these terminal servers. >So, is it safe to use T/TCP (at least for Squid) for RELENG_3? >RELENG_2_2? I asked for more info about the problems they were having with T/TCP and never got much of an answer; since they don't say what the problem they were having was it's hard to say whether or not it was resolved. >And what about MBUF size (mentioned at the same page of the Squid FAQ)? >Do I need to patch Squid as it shown at the page? Recent (as in the last day or so) RELENG_3's should not need this patch; the bug described has been fixed in another way.
