@mildsunrise @shaknais Ideally I would avoid the retry of the SYN, like the rest of the world does

@bagder @shaknais

I think @mildsunrise means you want the SYN to be retried if you just reached timeout without response (as both Linux and Windows do), but in this case the problem is Windows retries even when getting a RST, which is indeed a bit... unexpected.

@mildsunrise @shaknais after a RST because nothing is listening?

@bagder @shaknais (see next post)

@mildsunrise @shaknais let me phrase it like this then: I want the Linux behavior on Windows too

@bagder @shaknais exactly. you want the SYN to be retried, but the process to be aborted immediately upon getting an RST. my point is that touching that tweak would alleviate one thing (the wait when the port is closed) at the expense of another (being much more vulnerable to packet loss)
