I am very sorry, but you should complain to your ISP, 20 years after RFC
1323, it should support it.
TCP options are ... options, and as such should not be denied by a
conformant TCP stack.

Thank you for the reply. Yes even I feel so. I have put up this issue to
ISP.
However this issue is happening only with TCP timestamp option. All
other options are working fine. Any idea?

No, it doesn't work. I disabled SACK and window scaling. The connection
gets established immediately once I disable tcp_timestamps. It may be
problem with ISP. I am still awaiting their response. Not sure what sort
of filtering they use for TCP Timestamps.
Thank you for your time.

Nandakumar
