Well, I think we already on the righ track, as splitting the file into
pieces doesn't
do any good, because the first fily could not be transferred. I will
look into hexdump
output to see the byte sequence around 4K.
btw, using netstat and snmp tools, I could see the increment in checksum
received error
in tcp.
before transmission:
netstat -s output:
tcp:
405912 discarded for bad checksums
snmp query output:
tcp.tcpInErrs: 405912
after connection hang:
netstat -s output:
tcp:
405919 discarded for bad checksums
snmp query output:
tcp.tcpInErrs: 405919
So, is it mean that SCO implementation has problem, or just wrong setup
in
that SCO box ?
