 Hi all,

 After I've capture the tcp connection (iperf) at the receiver,
 I've found an abnormal behavior of tcp at the host.
 Could you have any idea about this problem ?

 The problem is that the packet trace is seen by tcpdump,
 but the tcp at the host does not react to the segments.
 That is, the receiver does not send ACKs to the segments.
 
 From the following trace, tcpdump was run at the machine with 5001
port.
 Though its tcpdump sees the segment arrivals, it looks like frozen.
 After timeout at the sender at the port 4260, it retransmitted the
packet,
 then, the receiver begins to send ACK again.

 This sympton always happen in my experiment regularly.
 (sender is window2000 with cdma connection, receiver is linux 2.4
kernel.)

 Is there anybody to comment to this ?
