Disabled: tcp_timestamps, tcp_window_scaling

[Luis Bruno]

Hello,

Anyone else had to disable tcp_timestamps and/or tcp_window_scaling? I
have an important csutomer to whom the connections will stall unless I
travel back in time to 1996...

I'm trying to blackbox which hardware might cause this. Any war stories?

Kind regards,

No personal war stories, but based on my recollections of discussions,
I would suggest you start with the firewalls, then look at any "WAN
accelerators" and finally the hosts themselves.
