That seems very clear. But I didn't change anything AFAIK on that machine to
make it avoid wscale, and the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling is still
'1' on that machine. So I guess although NTL is choking on wscale, there is
a difference in the kernel versions about issuing it.
Maybe some kind of note somewhere giving the echo "0"
>/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_window_scaling workaround would be good since many
NTL and maybe other customers will be suffering when the newer kernels go out
to wider use. I noticed yesterday for example that the daily yum was choked,
when I killed it and ran yum update by hand, it was not choked, it was just
suffering the same problem with http traffic (while trying to get a new
kernel-sourcecode!) coming at 1 or 2 bytes a second.
