Confirmed this patch also work perfectly on 14.04. pptp-linux-1.7.2-7 It's a SHAME that such a good fix is not yet in the "official" package. It seems that debian mantainer doesn't care too. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=680455

I'll look into this one" since Mon, 30 Jul 2012 23:09:42 +0200 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pptp-linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681617 Title: pptp stops receiving packets when bandwidth spike Status in “pptp-linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in Arch Linux: New Bug description: Binary package hint: pptp-linux I've had this problem since long ago, when downloading at high speed (ubuntu images from my uni's network and similar) my network connection would become unresponsive, and I had to reconnect. This hit me real hard today, as it kept happening while I was browsing a single youtube clip. My dorm uses PPTP to connect to the net, and we have a fairly juicy line (~100mbps). I've researched a bit, and tried to adjust the MISSING_WINDOW in pqueue.h to 6000 from 300 (per [1] and [2]), and I think this fixed my problem. I guess this could've been fixed upstream already, but still would be nice to have this backported if possible. If nothing else, this bug- report might help someone else with the same problem.
