I usually use lynx to go and look up stuff on the web all the time, and from sites, I get these checksum errors. My transfer rates drop to about 70> bps and the checksum errors fill up my logs.
I can almost always find a site or two that does this to my system. Are there any test that I can do to help anyone here track down te cause of this annoying thing?
I've been seeing this for a while, but I don't know what kernel version it started from for me. I'm running 2.1.90 right now.
If you can find a site/connection combo which reproduces it reliably, sniff those specific connections with tcpdump, if I can look at this I can figure out some pattern and try to track down the bug.
Note I said "sniff those specific connections", please always give some filtering options to tcpdump such as "host foo and port 80", lately a lot of people have send me tcpdumps full of "other noise" such as ARP requests etc. which make the logs more difficult to study.
Thanks.
