Best regards eveyone. I have a rather naive problem :

Ok, so to try syn-cookies, I flooded my hp linux box (2.2.12) with fake
syn packets. And sure enuf even after the queue  length
tcp_max_syn_backlog  was exceeded, a legitimate connection was allowed.
But every time it went  something like this:

SERVER : Already SYN flooded, SYN Cookies on.

                                 S
Legit Client -----------> Server

                                    SA
Legit Client  <----------- Server                  // Inspite of flood!!




                                        A
Legit Client ------------> Server
//connection est.


                                       R
Legit Client  <----------- Server                          // :-( What


I wold be grateful to someone who can solve the mystry of this last
reset packet for me.

Thanks!!
Aadi.
