Networking change causes distribution headachesNetworking change causes distribution headachesPosted Oct 30, 2008 16:08 UTC (Thu) by hppnq (subscriber, #14462)In reply to: Networking change causes distribution headaches by davem Parent article: Networking change causes distribution headaches Well, you would have to be doing a distribution upgrade, boot into it immediately and go into production without looking for updates. I think it is fair to assume that not too many people would run into TCP timestamp related corruption. If they really care about their data, obviously their scripts would notice the absence of TCP timestamping with this new release. Here's a simple explanation for Ubuntu's decision. As a side note: for home users -- who are extremely unlikely to be running at high enough data rates -- there is (also) the option to revert to the last working kernel. Maybe in a next release, this specific kind of distribution problem will actually be "solved" by Ubuntu. Which would be very nice. Second side note: a couple of years ago PAWS users were vulnerable -- on a rather big scale -- to a remote Dos. Your mileage will always vary.
