On Tue Feb 19 23:12 , Danek Duvall sent: Richard has been seeing this consistently when trying to install SUNWgcc on his box at home. He's got a cable connection from comcast, and for some reason, every time he tries the install, it manages to download part of it, but eventually hangs for about twenty minutes, and then gets a traceback with connection reset by peer.
The twenty minutes points to the TCP timeout, but why would it be timing out? Some ideas we've come up with: - Bart suggested that it might be too high an MTU (1500 behind a PPPoE connection can be bad), but Richard tried lowering his MTU to 1492, and it didn't help. He also said that he's been able to download large files before. - The depot isn't initiating the drop; in fact, it gets a broken pipe message, indicating that something in between is causing the problem. - The Apache reverse proxy might be initiating the drop, but it's not logging anything. Unfortunately, the logging isn't terribly transparent for filelist operations, so it's hard to say exactly what's going on. And it would still leave the question of why the hang is happening. - Bart also suggested that maybe comcast is buggering some content filtering, poisoning the connection, and sending a RST to the client, perhaps thinking that he's doing something against their TOU. Anyone else have success with IPS and comcast link? - Possibly the connection is too slow (uh-oh)? Richard says he's got at least 2Mb, which ought to be plenty, but you never know. Anyone try this on a really slow connection? It downloaded just fine on my ~3Mb connection. Any other ideas?
