scheduled to be transmitted (this was a FIN) the system will sit in
LAST_ACK state forever.
Thus, when mbuf allocation fails, set the retransmit timer if neither
the retransmit or persist timer is already pending.

sense at all and just confuses people as to what happened. It could be
argued that we should save the original address somewhere so that
getsockname() etc can tell us what it used to be so we know where the

The bad news: it's nearly impossible to test every driver, especially

it would get applied right after the first SYN packet was seen (either
from client or server). With broken TCP connection attempts, when the
remote end does not respond with SYNACK nor with RST, this resulted in
having a useless (ie, no actual TCP connection associated with it) TCP
link with 86400 seconds TTL, wasting system memory. With high rate of
such broken connection attempts (for example, remote end simply blocks
these connection attempts with ipfw(8) without sending RST back), this
could result in a denial-of-service.
