Subject: Bug in tcp timestamp option ? TSecr in SYN-ACK != TSval in SYN

All,

The original query I had posted is here :
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30414350/tcp-syn-ack-tsecr-not-matching-tsval-in-syn
.. The summary is that once in a while, the TSval in SYN is not what
is getting echoed in TSecr, and looks like something on amazon aws
side is very strict about that and drops those packets. Any clues on
this - whether its a known issue/fixed elsewhere etc. would be of
great help.

Rgds,
Gopa.
