SubjectRe: Possible BUG in IPv4 TCP window handling, all recent 2.4.x/2.6.x kernels

Actually, I just did. I changed rmem_max and rmem_default to 4MB and
tcp_rmem to "64k 4MB 4MB". It did seem to help, but I'm wondering if
that's simply because it has a _lot_ of memory now to leak before it
starts eating up into the window size.

I also ran into some very strange packet loss problems that weren't
occurring yesterday; they only started occurring after I increased the
buffer size. Most strange. If they happen again, I'll make sure I capture
the flow to analyze it.

Anyway, that was just to see if I can do anything at all to mitigate the
problem. I'll try again with smaller buffers (4k 128k 256k) and see what
happens.

Thanks,
