This issue occurred to me right after I submitted the patch for RFC6298.
I did not commit any more change because RFC compliance aside, 180secs
just seem like eternity in the Internet age.

(See my past post on this at

Okay, I missed that post during my search about the current situation.

I would suggest to increase TCP_SYN_RETRIES from 5 to 6.

180 secs is eternity, but 31 secs is too small.

Can you repost a v2, only changing TCP_SYN_RETRIES ?
