hi enke
Do you have an example to demonstrate this issue -- in theory when
there is data inflight, an RTO timer should be pending (which
considers user-timeout setting). based on the user-timeout description
(man tcp), the user timeout should abort the socket per the specified
time after data commences. some data would help to understand the
issue.
