Let me see if I understand this correct:
Client Router Server ------------------------------------ Linux Linux HPUX Bad WinNT Linux HPUX Good HPUX Linux HPUX Good
With all Linux boxes version 2.2.something
Is this correct?
This is slightly different from my situation; I had a Linux client and Linux server directly connected to the same switch (3Com Superstack II, FWIW)
I found the client always hung in my test; this was only visible at the end of a SPEC run. Analysing tcpdump etc showed that in fact it died somewhere early in the test, almost always before 10 minutes worth of run.
In the end I 'fixed' the problem by using a HPUX server :-/ ... I observe that there _are_ some SPECweb99 submissions with Linux (the Tux result), I'm curious to know if the people who actually did the test run experienced any problems...
Perhaps if I get time I'll repeat the experiment with (a) the most recent Alan pre-2.2 kernel and (b) the most recent 2.4-test kernel...
I'll re-iterate my original request, which was not "it's broke - can you fix it" but was "okay, how do I go about tracking this one down?"
cheers, stephen
