New Revision: 245238
URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/245238

Log:
  Don't drop options from the third retransmitted SYN by default.  If the
  SYNs (or SYN/ACK replies) are dropped due to network congestion, then the
  remote end of the connection may act as if options such as window scaling
  are enabled but the local end will think they are not.  This can result in
  very slow data transfers in the case of window scaling disagreements.
  
  The old behavior can be obtained by setting the
  net.inet.tcp.rexmit_drop_options sysctl to a non-zero value.
