To be honest we do not have a pure end to end internet, and some of our failed experiments in the past prove this :-) For example, we have an optimization that allows much earlier termination of TIME_WAIT connections. It relies upon TCP timestamps and attributes we can determine about end hosts using that information (it is yet another Van Jacobson idea btw). But NAT means that IP+Port does not necessarily equate to the same host over time, not even over short periods of time. A NAT box could be using Port X for host A and then host B some short time later. Therefore we had to disable the early timewait recycling trick by default. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
