Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ufw
The default configuration of ufw enables syncookies, which is not considered a great idea by the developers of the Linux network stack. For details see this thread: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/85365 >From that message: > Syncookies are discouraged these days. They disable too many > valuable TCP features (window scaling, SACK) and even without them > the kernel is usually strong enough to defend against syn floods > and systems have much more memory than they used to be.
