[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] 4 BSD TCP question.

subbu@HPINDAW.HP.COM (MCV Subramaniam) (07/13/89)

I have a question on 4.3 BSD tcp_input() code. In the section in which
keepalive packets are handled, there is a comment that says "Dont toss 
RST in response to 4.2 style keepalive."  The code following it checks
for RST flag in the incoming packet.

Does this mean that 4.2 BSD sets the RST flag in a keepalive packet?
Can somebody point to me to 4.2 BSD sources?

Thanks in advance.
