This statement is inconsistent with the description of this scenario in Steven's TCP/IP Illustrated. Specifically, continuing the handshake in the TCP layer, i.e., sending a syn/ack and moving to the syn_recd state, is incorrect if the limit of the server's socket backlog would be exceeded. How do you account for this discrepancy between linux and other berkeley-derived implementations?
