Subject: TCP hangs in 2.4.20-pre11 (and 2.4.19)
Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2002 16:51:10 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <apme9u$n2n$1@ncc1701.cistron.net> (raw)

I have one machine rsync'ing a debian mirror through another machine
which runs a HTTPS proxy - rsync can use the HTTP CONNECT method to
proxy-connected to a remote rsyncd.

On the gateway machine, the proxy consistantly hangs in a write().
I've replaced the squid proxy with a simple perl script + nc to
make sure it isn't a squid-related problem..

.. etc. It never recovers from this.

The machine has 2 eepro100 network cards. One is connected to the
office network (which has its own 2 mbit connected to the outside
world), the other is connected to an ADSL 8 mbit/sec line. Both
connections to the outside world show the same problem. I've tried
both eepro100 and e100 drivers with the same results. 2.4.20-pre11
and 2.4.19 both behave the same. There is no firewall in the
path anywhere. And it doesn't matter which remote
rsync server I used, the connection always eventually hangs.

Wait - I do have a dual routing table setup, so that traffic originating
from the ADSL IP goes out over the ADSL line:

# ip rule show
0:	from all lookup local 
32700:	from 195.64.94.89 lookup adsl 
32766:	from all lookup main 
32767:	from all lookup default 
# ip route show table adsl 
default via 195.64.94.1 dev eth1 

The machine is a PII/300 with 192 MB of RAM, of which it has
plenty free.

What can this be ? Esp. the netstat output looks weird.

Mike.
