What is that value reporting exactly? Because we are using syncookies,
and AFAIK with that enabled, all SYNs are being replied, and what the
listen backlog is really limitting is the "completely established
sockets waiting to be accepted", according to listen(2). What I don't
really know to be honest, is what a "completely established socket" is,
does it mean that the SYN,ACK was sent, or the ACK was received back?
Also, from the client side, when is the connect(2) call done? When the
SYN,ACK is received?
Thanks!
