Subject: strange TCP behaviour

Dear All

I have application, thats accept redirected requests from squid (over iptables
... -j REDIRECT), getting ip over getsockopt/SO_ORIGINAL_DST and throwing data
in to the tunnel.

And i have strange behaviour, when i do
sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_frto=0

And i try any website with attachments (means a lot of data going to be sent
to redirect), i am getting after 3-10 seconds message "Read error: Connection
timed out". Thats a bit strange, possible it is related to application, but i
guess kernel must not give error to recv/read (i dont know what squid is
using). It is a bit difficult to reproduce the problem, but i can give a
remote access to PC where all things installed. But i have no idea, who of
TCP(?) maintainers can help me with this. I think there is no app problem,
tcpdump looks normal, there is no reset(and message will be different in case
of reset).
