Poor TCP Performance 2.4.0-10 <-> Win98 SE PPP

Quoted 8 lines · Jordan Mendelson
We are seeing a performance slowdown between Windows PPP users and servers running 2.4.0-test10. Attached is a tcpdump log of the connection. The machines is without TCP ECN support. The Windows machine is running Windows 98 SE 4.10.2222 A dialed up over PPP w/ TCP header compression. The Linux machine is connected directly to the Internet via a 6509. There is a possibility that we are hitting a bandwidth cap on outgoing traffic.
Just some updates. This problem does not appear to happen under 2.2.16. The dump for 2.2.16 is almost the same except we send an mss back of 536 and not 1460 (remote mtu vs local mtu).
Here is the head of a tcpdump with the same client, but this time with a 2.2.16 machine instead of a 2.4.0-test10 machine:

MSS advertized makes no difference, it controls not what sized payloads we send, which is determined in this case by PMTU and thus both Linux 2.2.x and 2.4.x send equally sized limited packets.
