6/10 Sometimes when the http://berkeley.edu net is slow, my ssh connection
drops characters going from my computer to csua (but not in the
reverse direction, as far as i can tell). Why does this happen?
Since ssh runs on top of tcp/ip, shouldn't the dropped packets get
retransmitted? Or is this some anti-replay feature?
\_ 1. the sequence numbers become way out of wack for the TCP to handle.

2. those "queued" packets get dropped eventually (think the routers
care about your connection until time ends?)
\_ yesh but your TCP stack should still eventually resend them.
I hink you have more of an OS problem than a networking one.
\_ I use freebsd 4.5. It still times out. What do you use?
\_ Turn on keep-alives.
\_ My connection isn't timing out. It's just dropping
characters. -op
\_ winXP never times out.
\_ I read somewhere that telnet uses UDP. Is that true?
\_ No. |
