The MTU on both interfaces is 1500. The receiving system received 3 packets. There is a router and switch between them. One of them fragmented that packet. This is part of a SSL/TLS exchange and one side or the other is hanging on this and just dropping the connection. I suspect the packet size is the issue. ssldump complains about the packet too and stops monitoring.

If disabling TSO on msk(4) fixed the issue of the remote end dropping/ignoring the packet, that sounds like a bug in msk(4). Yong-Hyeon, do you have any recent msk(4) patches relating to TSO? -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@koitsu.org | | UNIX Systems Administrator http://jdc.koitsu.org/ | | Mountain View, CA, US | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
