Default buggy TCP zero-window probe in vista ?

hello group,

i wonder if any one has noticed the bizarre TCP zero-window probe behavior
in vista ? xp's probe works pretty well. however in vista (SP1), when a
zero-window is replied by the receiver, some times it takes as long as, say,
38 seconds to probe back. and sometimes it seems vista doesnt probe at all
(or the timeout is just too long).

i have packet captures for both vista and xp on this.

apparently this is a bug in vista that doesnt follow rfc 1122/793. the
result would be the tcp connection stalls or even breaks when the receiver is
temporarily under high load and responded zero window.

any comments ?

thanks !

- hao

Well, I've noticed the same thing with a Marvell network card if I set
the speed at 1000 Full Duplex but if I run at 100 Full, I don't get any
of the issues. I blame the network chip all the way because I have the
same problem on multiple systems and they all have Marvell embedded
chips.
