So you _confirm_ DEFER_ACCEPT is not used, its _important_ for us.

I dont believe my comment was trivial at all :)

I gave a hint to myself and other network guys, because we did some
changes in this area lately (commit b103cf34 tcp: fix TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT
retrans calculation) from Julian Anastasov.

git describe b103cf34
v2.6.31-9056-gb103cf3

Please boot a fresh vm, then try exactly 10 'bad connects', please make
each attempt last at least 2 minutes. (you can start all these in
parallel)

And report :

netstat -s


(My FC12 copy doesnt exhibit this problem)

Thanks
