Re: Weirdness with AF_INET listen() backlog [2.4.18]

Hello Alan,

And a further small point to help me clear things up things cleanly...

>seeing it on the connect.

Perhaps also to further clarify the meaning og backlog in 2.4.
The situation is this:

1. Pending requests up to backlog are always established.

2. Pending requests in excess of backlog are established, but may
timeout if not accepted() in a timely fashion.

Have I got it right?

Cheers

Michael
