When I attempt to make a sock_stream connection to an IP, and DON'T receive an ACK or RST response, it seems that the system retries a finite number of times by sending additional SYN packets. There also looks to be a 3 or 6 second delay between SYN retries. After four or five, the connection fails.
Is there a way I can change the interval time for SYN retries, or decrease the number of times it retries? I would imagine this would be dependent on the particular tcp/ip stack implementation of my OS. I'm using FreeBSD and would imaging some kernel sysctl variable would control this... Any ideas? Or perhaps it's a socket option? Thanks! --Ben To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
