I should take my favorite TCP application and recompile with one
additional setsockopt in code, am I right?
I never did SO_DEBUG's. :)
I noticed that stalls are periodical, with period of about 2-3
minutes.
I made a long ping session, and came up with this:
PING div.srce.hr (161.53.3.13): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 161.53.3.13: icmp_seq=0 ttl=253 time=1.3 ms

... everything's ok, when ping times are around 1ms

64 bytes from 161.53.3.13: icmp_seq=148 ttl=253 time=1.0 ms
... from now on, things are dog slow...

64 bytes from 161.53.3.13: icmp_seq=336 ttl=253 time=2.0 ms
... from now on, things are working correctly again...
64 bytes from 161.53.3.13: icmp_seq=337 ttl=253 time=1.1 ms
64 bytes from 161.53.3.13: icmp_seq=338 ttl=253 time=1.1 ms
... and so on...
Notice I cut a long listing into relevant pieces (watch those icmp_seq
numbers)!
Could this mean that some counter is under/overflowing or something
similar?
Unfortunately, I can't boot older kernel right now, cause I'm not
sitting at the machine, and wouldn't want to push my luck... :)
Thanks for your attention!
