Subject: 2.4.2 TCP window shrinking


Hi All,

This has probably been covered but I saw this message in my logs and
wondered what it meant?

TCP: peer xxx.xxx.1.11:41154/80 shrinks window 2442047470:1072:2442050944.
Bad, what else can I say?



Is it potentially bad? - Ive only ever seen it twice with 2.4.x

Regards, Jim.

We need desperately to know exactly what OS the xxx.xxx.1.14 machine
is running. Because you've commented out the first two octets, I
cannot check this myself using nmap.

I'm seeing similar messages on a web server running 2.4.2.

Similar situation here: vanilla 2.4.2, with web serving/ftp/hotline/napster/etc.,

Running nmap (v2.53) on that IP doesn't resolve to a known OS, so that doesn't help. Version 2.54BETA7
gives this output:

Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA7 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Warning: OS detection will be MUCH less reliable because we did not find at least 1 open and 1 closed TCP port
All 1534 scanned ports on vsat-148-75-118-138.ssa7.mcl.starband.net (148.75.118.138) are: filtered

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 163 seconds

So that doesn't appear to help too much either.

I see them all the time on my sites. I have active mirrors so they
