p.s. would this be generally useful (assuming it can be achieve without
any overhead when compiled out)?



Yes, I think that'd be very useful; when a user has a repeatable network problem, we could have them turn this on and create a detailed log file for us. In cases of reset connections, etc, this would be quite useful.


Doesn't TCPDEBUG do something like that already, though? I haven't taken a look into it, perhaps I should.

TCPDEBUG does part of it but I don't see a way to get the output directed to a listenning app that can interpret it, and I don't see a way of limitiing it to particular sessions.

the last isn't quite true.. it can be made to depend on SO_DEBUG but how does a 3rd party process set that bit?
