Hi all!

I'm currently working on a test installation of NGX (HFA01) to test its IPv6
capabilities and found some issues.

It took me some time to find how to allow ICMP-Requests, but now ping is
working without problems.

However, for TCP, it was neccessary to disable the TCP Sequence Verifier in
SmartDefense, otherwise it wasn't possible to build any TCP connection (error
in log was "Bad TCP sequence/Invalid ACK number").

Ok, so TCP is now working, but here is the next problem. Every SSH session
times out after a very short period without any data being sent. Looking at
the state table ("fw6 tab -t connections -f") shows, that the session timeout
for _any_ TCP service is only the TCP start timeout (25s), even after full
connection establishment (and initial data transfer). Way too short for any
keepalives.

I found no way to increase the session timeout for TCP connections, even tried
to explicitly set the value per service. Maybe a bug?

Has anyone else seen this behaviour? Is there a special document regarding NGX
and IPv6?


Regards,
Peter
