I tried with and without bridges=20 (I sometimes have a bridge between a tap device and my eth0) with the=20 same results. When I close and try to reconnect, sometimes it works, sometimes it=20 doesn't, but when it does the client (on my laptop) always stops=20 receiving data from the server after a random time, between 1 and 60=20 seconds approximately. Also HTTP connections to the server's apache=20 daemon seem to suffer from this problem, and I usually have to "reload"=20 the page from my browser several times in order to have a complete page=20 (it usually stops in the middle of the page loading). Tracing with tcpdump on the laptop, the connections seem still up (the=20 server sends ACK packets, and when closing the console on the laptop, I=20 can see the FIN stuff closing TCP connection successfully), but the ssh=20 console is frozen on the laptop (no real replies from server apart from=20 ACK). I tested several times with and without the patches, and it strongly=20 appears to be related to Julian's patches. - Is it a known issue for these kernels (2.6.21)? - Is there a way to repair that in order to be able to use these patches? I'm using a vanilla kernel 2.6.21.7 with the following patches: - IMQ - Layer 7 - Julian's route patches (version for kernel 2.6.21) relevant parts of .config: CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH=3Dy # CONFIG_IP_ROUTE_MULTIPATH_CACHED is not set ... # CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER is not set # CONFIG_BRIDGE_NF_EBTABLES is not set CONFIG_BRIDGE=3Dm Thanks for any help, Fran=E7ois. _______________________________________________ LARTC mailing list LARTC@mailman.ds9a.nl http://mailman.ds9a.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lartc
