Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm sure lots of people remember Robert Chalmers' problem with his Annex and TCP RFC1323 extensions. Well, with the Annex out of the circuit, there are still problems. I could connect to www.chalmers.com.au from my home CSLIP-connected machine, but not from any office machine. When Bob dropped his MTU/MRU to 296, matching my CSLIP connection, all worked. Jim Shankland kindly posted an analysis of tcpdump when fetching a WWW document. Below, is output of what Robert Chalmers saw when I tried to fetch a doc before he changed the MTU/MRU. Could some kind soul with more experience than I please translate it into English. Jim found that packet number 1 never reached him, although packet 2 did. Perhaps the trace below will help us to work out why.
