Hi, I have the following problem: sometimes a tcp-connection (i.e http using wget, ftp, telnet and ssh) freeze for minutes. Other connections between the same machines still work well. This is observed with all 2.0.35, 2.0.36 and 2.0.37preX kernels (which means: 2.0.35 or 2.0.36 <-> 2.0.36 or 2.0.36 or 2.0.37preX or some other unixes; have not checked it for 2.0.37preX <-> 2.0.37preX). One thing which seems to trigger this behaviour is, when a tcp-packet is lost. So I never see this for machines on the same segment, sometimes the packet must pass a rather full 10Mbit segment and rather often over a 768kbit-link. tcpdumps on both machines show that no packet is sent or reveived for this connection while the connections is frozen (if both machines use 2.0.35+). I don't know if its really tcp or maybe another system-call (i.e. select), but squid i.e. continues to work for its other connections or new ones when one of its connections freeze. I don't know if this is a (known) bug in 2.0.35+ kernels, but I would appreciate if someone could tell me where to start searching the reason.
