@shaknais @bagder you do want the SYN to be retried, just not when you've received an RST indicating the port is closed

Public

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

Public

@bagder @shaknais I'm not sure I follow... all TCP stacks retry the SYN a few times before timing out, since either the SYN or the SYN/ACK could get lost. in Linux this is controlled by the net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries sysctl, which defaults to 6

Public

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