Client application unable to connect to linux server, tcp packet has [SEW] flag set.


Hi
I have a window client application trying to linux server. At time the client was unable to connect to the linux server.
I did a tcpdump and notice the client packet has [SEW] flag set.

On the linux server /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn was set to 2, which was the default.

Should I change it to 1 ?

Thanks

No, I would not suggest that. Over the years the Linux kernel has become quite good at managing things and furthermore TCP/IP is based on Open Standards so sane defaults are applied. Those are IMHO two good reasons for not tuning any network-related sysctls unless you have good reasons, no alternatives and know the implications of those changes.

This does not provide enough information to base any suggestion on. Do capture full packets on the server, initiate the connection a few times and then examine network flows and payload in Wireshark? Also do check the servers network, system and daemon log entries for clues.
