I'm confused. So you are saying that if the Send-Q is empty when you =
partition the
network, and the peer starts to send SYNs after the healing, FreeBSD =
responds
with a challenge ACK which triggers the sending of a RST by Linux. This =
RST is
ignored multiple times.
Is that true? Even with my patch for the the bug I introduced?
What version of the kernel are you using?

Best regards
