IPv6 TCP connection

[bv_arvind]

Hi,

I am having a problem with TCP connection establishment phase when I use an IPv6 adress. This is also observed only when I use the RealTek driver. The issue I see is that

Device A                 Device B
(client on e100         (server running on realtek driver)
SYN sent
                          SYN RCVD
                          SYN+ACK sent
SYN+ACK rcvd
SYN sent

Was not sure why client doesn't recognize the SYN+ACK recieved. The parameters that identfy a connection viz., source IP, destination IP, source port number and destination port number seem to be correct. Any TCP debugging tip in FreeBSD is welcome. Is it possible for me to view the state machine transitions using any CLI or debug option?

Thanks

The sequence number might be incorrect. In that case it'll be treated as a spurious packet and ignored.
