>We don't send a RST, we just silently drop the connection. This is wrong too; it should silently drop the ACK and leave the connection in the pending queue. >However, at the point we're talking about, >we're already past the 3-way handshake I thought we were talking about the ACK that finished the 3-way handshake. >I think that you're referring to the case where we receive an initial SYN, >and the listen queue is full. I'm referring to the case where the server has specified a backlog and that backlog is full. RST is never an appropriate response in this condition, whether in response to the SYN or to the ACK of our SYN/ACK, Microsoft's implementation notwithstanding.
