Error description
A tcp connection can hang and never send the last bytes
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * Systems running the 6100-07 Technology Level with * bos.net.tcp.client below the 6.1.7.18 level. **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * An established tcp connection can hang and never send the last * bytes. This has been seen primarily on VIO Clients, when * transferring large amounts of data. * * It happens when the send for the previous packet is * ACKed all at once before the call to ip_output returns back to * tcp_output. * * To determine if you're experiencing this problem, run * 'netstat -an' in a 5 sec loop. * If you notice the Send-Q value has the same non-zero value for * the same established connection after a couple of iterations, * you may be experiencing this problem. **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * Install APAR IV32392. * Prior to fix availability, an interim fix is available from * ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/ifixes/iv32392/ ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
TCP code is modified to record all acknowledgement recepits and make sure those last bytes were also sent. This change solves tcp hang issue
Temporary fix
