Consider a TCP connection that is long-lived enough (> 24 days, with timestamp clock frequency of 1ms) for timestamp wraparound to occur at one end. Assume that the connection has *not* been idle for more than 24 days. According to RFC1323, the PAWS check would drop all incoming segments from the host that wrapped, since TSVal would be less than TSRecent and TSRecent will not get updated. Am I missing something here? thanks -thonuzo _______________________________________________ tcpm mailing list tcpm@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/tcpm
