Subject: FYI: Router causes TCP retransmits for windows hosts after
 "ip_forward: fix inverted local_df test"

TCP retransmissions from a windows host

After upgrading a router to Linux 3.2.60 most windows machines behind
it started experiencing connection stalls. Downgrade to 3.2.59
resolved the problem. Using git bisect I pinpointed it to
"59d9f389df3cdf72833d5ee17c3fe959b6bdc792 is the first bad commit",
which entered the kernel from here
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=139949081418806&w=2

No connection problems for Linux hosts at all – only windows. Please,
find attached tcpdump packet capture demonstrating the bad behaviour.

I wonder if this is the same bug discussed in the Debian bug tracker:
