RST not emitted on listen backlog full?
We've been doing some automated load testing and have noticed something
curious. When the TCP SYN cache code can't create a new socket for an
incoming connection because the listen backlog is full (128 max) there is
a call to tcp_respond which seems intended to cause a RST, but we never
see the RST hit the wire. We see no reason why and wonder if others have
noticed this (mis-)behavior.
This is with the netbsd-5 branch as of a couple of months ago.
