Upon receipt of SYNACK from the server, ipt_SYNPROXY first sends back an ACK to finish the server handshake, then calls nf_ct_seqadj_init() to initiate sequence number adjustment of forwarded packets to the client and finally sends a window update to the client to unblock it's TX queue.
Since synproxy_send_client_ack() does not set synproxy_send_tcp()'s nfct parameter, no sequence number adjustment happens and the client receives the window update with incorrect sequence number. Depending on client TCP implementation, this leads to a significant delay (until a window probe is being sent).
