Hi Louie ,


Thanks for the Response on my Queries.

For QUERY 3,
ACTIVE open frm Free BSD end:

       FREE BSD          APPLICATION
                Send ---------> syn
                Receive <-------- SYN

Expect SYN & ACK-------------> Getting only ACK in this Scenario,

Now Expects FREE BSD to respond back with the SYN & ACK , but BSD is sending only ACK message as the response.

There's no reason why the FreeBSD host would send another SYN; presumably the "APPLICATION" host received the SYN and responds back with SYN of it's own and ACK of the FreeBSD host's SYN. Once the SYN has been ACK'd, there's no reason to resend it. I suppose I wonder why you expect the FreeBSD system to retransmit it's SYN?

4 .When checking the State - TIME-WAIT Sending FIN and expecting the ACK ;Getting the ACK properly. Sending Data Segment and Expecting the RST signal not getting the RST ; Instead DUT is sending the Last TCP packet. Issue seen only in Free BSD


For this Issue mentioned above, Last TCP packet is jst a Testing packet with the
following Field set  in TIME-WAIT state ,


TCP: ---- TCP Packet ----
TCP:
TCP: Source Port           = 16815 (16815)
TCP: Destination Port      = 16816 (16816)
TCP: Sequence Number       = 3865716731 (0xE66A27FB)
TCP: Acknowledgment Number = 0 (0x00000000)
TCP: Data Offset           = 5 (20 bytes)
TCP: Reserved              = 0
TCP: Control Bits          = 0x10
TCP:  |543210

TCP:  |...0..              = No Reset Connection
TCP:  |....0.              = No Synchronize Sequence Numbers
TCP:  |.....0              = More Data From Sender
TCP: Window                = 32752 bytes
TCP: Checksum              = 0x41A0 (Correct)
TCP: Urgent Pointer        = 0 (Not Significant)
TCP:
TCP: --- Trailing Data [12 bytes] ---
TCP:  53 61 6D 70 6C 65 20 44 61 74 61 00               Sample Data.
TCP: --- Trailing Data End ---
From machine Sending  to the FREE BSD machine,

This is to verify that Free BSD is in TIME-WAIT state.

Not sure what good this packet trace is; the only reason the TCP would respond with a RST segment is if the segment it receives is somehow bogus. Perhaps that the send sequence is outside the window. If the data is within the window, it might be considered an "old" segment that happens to arrive, perhaps out-of-order; why would the local TCP reset the connection for no good reason?
