We are having trouble using Berkeley 4.3 TCP over very slow network connections (9600 baud). Sometimes connections just get stuck. Both hosts are running the same Berkeley software. This happens even if the hosts are connected directly to each other by the slow network link. Below is a trace of the packets being sent back and forth. This continues forever. The connection is in the following state: local host connection says it is in: CLOSE_WAIT remote host says the connection is in: FIN_WAIT_2 here are the packets that bounce back and forth: sent: 45 0 0 29 6 fa 0 0 1e 6 79 4c a 1e 4 3b a 1e 4 13 2 2 3 f4 4 69 e2 2 4 4b 9c 50 50 10 10 0 f6 4c 0 0 0 ... (41 bytes) recv: 45 0 0 28 6 fe 0 0 1e 6 79 49 a 1e 4 13 a 1e 4 3b 3 f4 2 2 4 4b 9c 51 4 69 e2 3 50 10 10 0 f6 4b 0 0 ... (40 bytes) it just keeps going on forever (at least an hour) Does anyone have any idea what is happening? I would appreciate any comments! Thanks. Tim Tucker Gould CSD tucker@gswd-vms.gould.com.
